The Life of Philander Chase is a biography of the first Bishop of Ohio and Illinois, Philander Chase. The book is written by his great-granddaughter, Laura Chase Smith. The biography provides a comprehensive account of Bishop Chase's life, from his birth in New Hampshire in 1775 to his death in Ohio in 1852. Bishop Chase was a prominent figure in the early history of the Episcopal Church in the United States, and the book explores his contributions to the church and his efforts to establish two colleges, Kenyon and Jubilee, in Ohio.The book begins with a detailed account of Bishop Chase's childhood and education, including his time at Dartmouth College and the Episcopal Seminary in Connecticut. It then follows his journey as a missionary in the western frontier, where he established several churches and worked to raise funds for the construction of Kenyon College. The biography also covers his controversial tenure as the Bishop of Illinois, where he clashed with local politicians over the issue of slavery.Throughout the book, Smith provides insights into Bishop Chase's personal life, including his marriage to his wife, Mary, and his relationships with his children and grandchildren. She also explores his religious beliefs and his vision for the future of the Episcopal Church in America.Overall, The Life of Philander Chase is a well-researched and engaging biography that provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in American religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
