John Heyl Vincent's Reminiscences
Chautauqua Institution co-founder Rev. John Heyl Vincent was a prolific writer on religion, education, and history. Among Vincent's numerous published works were a few autobiographical writings. These essays describing family and personal history were forgotten soon after Vincent's death in 1920. More than a century later, thirty-three of his personal narratives have been gathered into a single volume. John Heyl Vincent's Reminiscences invites readers to learn directly from Bishop Vincent about the experiences that shaped his life, his convictions, and the Chautauqua idea.

Imagining the Holy Land
At the Chautauqua Institution in New York, visitors could walk down Palestine Avenue to "Palestine" and a model of Jerusalem, or along Morris Avenue to a scale model of the "Jewish Tabernacle." At the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904, a replica of Ottoman Jerusalem covered eleven acres, while today, 300 miles to the southeast, a seven-story-high Christ of the Ozarks stands above a modern re-creation of the Holy Land set in the Arkansas hills."--BOOK JACKET.
