Charting Florida’s early story through faith, travel, and perseverance
This nonfiction memoir traces a half-century of growth and struggle in the Florida field of Methodism. From exploration and settlement to the Civil War era, it follows fearless preachers who traveled long roads on foot or horseback, often facing arduous journeys to reach scattered communities. The narrative blends history with personal testimony, highlighting how faith, community, and endurance shaped the church and the people it healed and united.

Two brief, vivid sections survey the opening of Florida to explorers, the clash of cultures, and the steady spread of congregations. Readers will glimpse the daily life of frontier ministers, the challenges of conducting services across miles of wilderness, and the way faith sustained both ministers and families through war and transformation.
