    FOREWORD

    In 1852, John N. Loughborough, unimpressive in appearance and slight of build, began a determined evangelism for Seventh-day Adventists. Undaunted by blizzards and bitter cold, he traveled by buggy and sleigh over trackless prairies and baffling forest trails of the mid-west. Beginning his California labors in 1868, with a sixty-foot tent in Sonoma County, he attracted overflow crowds, made many converts, but was frequently threatened, and narrowly escaped death form an angry, knife-wielding opponent.MML i.1

    Few, if any, of our Adventist pioneers covered such a long span of years as Loughborough, 1832-1924. Fewer still recorded their experiences in as many publications. Loughborough’s close association with Elder and Mrs. White enables him to include many faith-building incidents in connection with the gift of prophecy, and also adds interest to his personal narrative. His eye-witness account is effective and authentic.MML i.2

    The material in this manuscript comes from books, diaries, articles and field reports in Adventist publications. The lengthy sermonettes have been eliminated, archaic expressions updated, but the story, the style is his own. I trust it will meet a timely need for the generation “who knew not Loughborough.”MML i.3
