THE KENTUCKY RANGER

By

EDWARD T. CURNICK, A.M.

Author of A Catechism on Christian Perfection.

The Christian Witness Co.
Chicago, Ill.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

The story, "The Kentucky Ranger," to a large extent is built around the
life and character of one of the most famous early pioneer preachers of
the West.

Many of the incidents in his career are recorded, but have been treated
as to time, place and authorship according to the demands of the work
with the freedom belonging to the writer of fiction.

A number of years ago some of the chapters in the narrative were
printed in "The Epworth Era," of Nashville, Tennessee. Thanks are
hereby extended to the paper for releasing the copyright.
