Summary "A Biography of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher" by Wm. C. Beecher and Rev. Samuel Scoville is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography recounts the life and influential career of Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and social reformer known for his passionate advocacy against slavery and his significant role in American religious life. The narrative captures not only Beecher's personal journey but also the societal transformations he engaged with throughout his life. The opening of the biography introduces readers to Beecher’s ancestry and his family's background, highlighting the strong moral and intellectual influences of both his father, Lyman Beecher, a noted preacher, and his mother, Roxana Foote. The authors detail the early environment in which Henry was raised, emphasizing both the personal qualities he inherited and the familial context that shaped his future perspectives and ambitions. Through rich descriptions of his childhood experiences in the picturesque town of Litchfield, the narrative sets the stage for understanding how these early influences would later fuel his passions and drive him in his efforts for reform and social justice.
