1854 CIVIL WAR SOLDIER PROVENANCE Carvosso Memoir
1854 CIVIL WAR SOLDIER PROVENANCE Carvosso Memoir Wesleyan Methodist Revivals
William Carvosso’s “Memoir” is a celebration of lay piety, Cornish revivalism, and radically Arminian theology. William Carvosso and his son Benjamin wrote William’s ‘Memoir’ as means of continuing to promote a Wesleyan revival, the Second Great Revival in America (c. 1790–1840), particularly with commoners and those not of the upper class of society.
“Carvosso functioned as a middleman between the poorer Wesleyans who comprised the bulk of the membership in Cornwall, but whose membership waxed and waned under the influence of larger social and economic forces, and the permanent lay and ministerial leadership of the Wesleyan Connexion.” (Penner)
Carvosso includes topics:
Birth and Parents
Conversion and joining Methodist Society
Marriage
Great Revival
Family Moves
Mousehole
Spiritual Conflicts
Wesley’s Sermons
Healings
Conversions
Death and Funeral
And more!
This, mid-19th-century edition features a full-page engraved portrait of William Carvosso on the frontispiece.
