Solid paperback thick cardboard covers.; "Jonathan Baldwin Turner (December 7, 1805 – January 10, 1899). Born in Templeton, Massachusetts, Turner was a classical scholar, botanist, dedicated Christian, and political activist. He was perhaps the leading voice in the social movement of the 1850s that produced the land grant universities that pioneered public higher education in the United States. Turner was especially involved in establishing the University of Illinois."-Wikipedia.; Ex-Library; xii, 298 pages.
I am prejudiced in my review as I am a direct descendant of Jonathan Baldwin Turner, being his great x 3 grandson. This book, written by his niece, is an excellent synopsis of his interesting life. Turner had a Divinity degree from Yale and would be thought of as a liberal Christian by today's standards. He was an avid abolitionist and participated in the Underground Railroad under threat of loss of life. In addition, he was a friend of Abraham Lincoln and visited him on several occasions. Turner was indirectly the founder of the Land Grant Act and the University of Illinois, which has both buildings and scholarships in his name. FInally, he was also an agricultural genius. Turner was truly a renaissance man, and Carriel's book does a superb job of telling his story and is quite readable as well.
