Birth of Berea College: A Story of Providence is a historical account written by John Almanza Rowley Rogers in 1902. The book tells the story of the founding of Berea College, a private liberal arts college located in Berea, Kentucky. The college was founded in 1855 by John Gregg Fee, a Presbyterian minister and abolitionist, who believed that education was a key factor in the fight against slavery. The book describes the challenges and obstacles that Fee faced in establishing the college, including opposition from slaveholders and the difficulties of raising funds for the project. The story also highlights the role of the community in supporting the college and the impact that it had on the lives of its students, many of whom were from disadvantaged backgrounds. The book is a testament to the power of education and the role that it can play in shaping the future of individuals and communities. Overall, Birth of Berea College is a compelling and inspiring historical account that sheds light on the early days of one of America's most important educational institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
