Howard Snyder's detailed biography views key nineteenth-century currents and events — such as abolitionism, revivalism, women's rights, the Civil War, and the expansion of railroads — through the lives of these two extraordinary figures, who taught a “holy populism” of simplicity, justice for the common people, and radical discipleship.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Howard A.
