1854 CIVIL WAR SOLDIER PROVENANCE Carvosso Memoir Wesleyan Methodist Revivals



William Carvosso’s “Memoir” is a celebration of lay piety, Cornish revivalism, and radically Arminian theology. William Carvosso and his son Benjamin wrote William’s ‘Memoir’ as means of continuing to promote a Wesleyan revival, the Second Great Revival in America (c. 1790–1840), particularly with commoners and those not of the upper class of society.

“Carvosso functioned as a middleman between the poorer Wesleyans who comprised the bulk of the membership in Cornwall, but whose membership waxed and waned under the influence of larger social and economic forces, and the permanent lay and ministerial leadership of the Wesleyan Connexion.” (Penner)



Carvosso includes topics:

Birth and Parents

Conversion and joining Methodist Society

Marriage

Great Revival

Family Moves

Mousehole

Spiritual Conflicts

Wesley’s Sermons

Healings

Conversions

Death and Funeral

And more!



This, mid-19th-century edition features a full-page engraved portrait of William Carvosso on the frontispiece.
