Today In History
September 25, 1872: Peter Cartwright, a Methodist circuit rider, dies at age 97. Though he was characterized as rough, uneducated, and eccentric, his drive and physical stamina enabled him to preach throughout midwestern frontiers for 70 years. [Including to members of the Clements family in early Ohio, who tended to appreciate the rough and eccentric.]
