Parson Brownlow's Forthcoming Book

The manuscript of this new work is now nearly complete, and it will be put to press forthwith.  The title gives the comprehensive view of the scope of the work: “The Perils, Adventures and Sufferings of the Rev. W. G. Brownlow among the Secessionists of Tennessee.”  The extraordinary vigor and fearlessness so characteristic of Parson Brownlow’s pen, are well known; and are eminently calculated to render his new word, founded as it is on such material of personal adventure and experience, a thrilling and fascinating book.  Geo. W. Childs, of Philadelphia is the publisher, and Appleton & Co., of Cincinnati, are publishers for the entire West. – George W. Thompson, of this city, is agent for Scott county.

– Published in The Davenport Daily Gazette, Davenport, Iowa, Thursday Morning, May 1, 1862, p. 1
