The Circuit Rider's Sketch Book is a book written by E. Alston Wilkes and published in 1907. It is a collection of sketches and stories about the life of a circuit rider, a preacher who travels on horseback to bring the gospel to rural communities. The book is divided into chapters, each one focusing on a different aspect of the circuit rider's life, such as his travels, his encounters with people along the way, and his experiences preaching in different churches. The sketches are written in a simple, straightforward style, and provide a glimpse into the hardships and joys of this unique way of life. The book is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the religious and social landscape of rural America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
