Edward Eggleston

Edward Eggleston was born in 1837 in Vevay, Indiana, and lost his father in 1846. In fragile health, he attended school only intermittently. At nineteen he became an itinerant Methodist preacher, served as a pastor in Minnesota, then edited magazines in Chicago and New York. He left Methodism around 1874 and founded an independent church in Brooklyn, which he led until 1879. He then turned to the social history of the colonies and presided over the American Historical Association. He died in 1902 on the shore of Lake George.
