Excerpt from History of Methodism in Texas

An unpretending volume is here offered to the reading public. While it details a few of the facts and incidents connected with the establishment of the Methodist Church in Texas, it hardly aspires to the dignity of a history. Other parties are preparing similar publications, and when they have all been given to the press, the future historian will have materials for a complete and connected history of Texas Methodism. This is sent forth in its present imperfect state, that errors may be corrected and omissions supplied.

The author has obtained his information from persons who were actors in the scenes described; from journals of Quarterly and Annual Conferences; from the printed "Minutes," and from files of old newspapers, especially the Texas Christian Advocate and Houston Telegraph. Those who have attempted to obtain accurate statements of facts and dates, will appreciate the difficulty of our undertaking. In some instances a score of letters were written in vain to ascertain the date of one transaction.
