| Summary |
"Personal Recollections of Pardee Butler" by Pardee Butler is a historical account written in the late 19th century that chronicles the life of Pardee Butler, a preacher, and community leader in early America. The narrative delves into his upbringing, family background, and the significant events that shaped his character and faith, highlighting his experiences against the backdrop of social and religious movements of the time. At the start of the work, the author’s daughter, Mrs. Rosetta B. Hastings, explains her intent to supplement her father's written recollections with her memories and insight into his life, underscoring his modesty and the challenges he faced. The opening chapters introduce the reader to Butler's family lineage, their migration patterns, and his formative years characterized by hardship, determination, and a commitment to religious principles. These personal details set the stage for a broader narrative about the religious fervor of the time, including the emergence of Christian movements and controversies surrounding slavery, as Butler navigated his roles as both a preacher and a community member amidst the tumultuous social landscape of 19th-century America.
