Once a traveling salesman for a line of newly invented clothes washing machines, he became an outspoken advocate for abolition and education. With his wife and son, he founded Clermont Academy, a racially integrated, coeducational secondary school-the first of its kind in Ohio. However, Parker's real vocation was as a self-ordained, itinerant preacher of his own brand of universal salvation. Raised by Presbyterian parents, he experienced a dramatic conversion to the Halcyon Church, an alternative, millenarian religious movement led by the enigmatic prophet Abel Sarjent, in 1803. After parting ways with the Halcyonists, he continued his own biblical and theological studies, arriving at the universalist conclusions that he would eventually preach throughout the Ohio River Valley. David Torbett has transcribed Parker's manuscript and publishes it here for the first time, together with an introduction, epilogue, bibliography, and extensive notes that enrich Parker's text"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Parker, Daniel, $d 1781-1861. 650 0 $a Universalists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Abolitionists $z United States $v Biography. 700 1 $a Torbett, David, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Parker, Daniel, 1781-1861. $t Autobiography of Daniel Parker, frontier universalist $d Athens, Ohio : Ohio University Press, [2020] $z 9780821447239 $w (DLC) 2020029607 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505011552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE9105C6969D11EBB000DAFF5DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
