Inhaltsangabe

Neve, Virginia's Thousandfold Man tells the story of Archdeacon Frederick Neve (1855-1948), the legendary clergyman and missionary who established missions, schools, and churches throughout the Blue Ridge and Ragged Mountains of Virginia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in England, Neve accepted a post in Virginia as a young man, becoming pastor of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Greenwood in 1888. He soon realized the need for his ministry among the people of the surrounding mountains and hollers. Riding his horse Old Harry, he ventured into primitive areas where contact with the outside world was sporadic at best. The church facilities that he helped establish - often with the aid of his close friend Nancy Langhorne (Lady Astor) and her family, changed the lives of thousands of people and his legend lives on to this day. The book includes vivid descriptions of mountain life and of Neve's spiritual initiatives, including his poetry and inspirational Order of the Thousandfold. Beautifully illustrated with numerous photographs.
