Description
Excerpt from The Tennesseean in Persia and Koordistan: Being the Scenes and Incidents in the Life of Samuel Audley Rhea Various persons in Asia and America, noting an example so worthy of grateful remembrance, have for two years past given much time to provide materials for this work. The reader may now follow this young Tennesseean to the inner fastnesses of almost pathless mountains. Adventures among robber chiefs in border wars will attract the young. The more thoughtful will ponder the fate of empires and vanity of life, as they follow the track of Xenophon, Alexander and Cyrus, or muse in the hollow tomb of Nineveh. Christians, it is believed, Will catch fresh inspiration from a soul so capable of responding to the call, Come up higher. They will never weary of looking into the struggles, pangs, joys, agonizing wrestlings and glorious victories of this fellow-soul. The name rhea is already written upon the map of East Tennessee. It is written on hearts in Persia, and' shall yet be written on the banners of many of God's embattled hosts.
