Sumario:"Billy Sunday (1862-1935) was the richest and most influential evangelistic preacher in the first half of the twentieth century. Bringing his brand of manly gospel to millions of Americans nationwide, Sunday connected with his fans through theatrics, conservative theology, and fervent patriotism. Published in the Ladies' Home Journal in 1932 and 1933 and now in book form for the first time, The Sawdust Trail is the only autobiography that this popular preacher ever wrote." "From his childhood in Iowa to his baseball career with National League teams in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia (he was the fastest runner in baseball of his time) to the challenges of preaching in New York City during his heyday, Sunday tells a story that gives us insight into the history of evangelism in America."--Jacket
Notas:Book was originally published serially in Ladies' home journal, Sept.-Dec., 1932 and Feb. & Apr. 1933.
