Charles Lewis Cocke: Founder of Hollins College is a historical biography written by William Robert Lee Smith in 1921. The book chronicles the life of Charles Lewis Cocke, a Virginia educator and minister who founded Hollins College in 1842. The author delves into Cocke's early life, education, and religious beliefs, as well as his efforts to establish a women's college in the South. The book also explores the challenges Cocke faced in raising funds for the college, recruiting students and faculty, and navigating the political and social climate of the antebellum South. With a focus on Cocke's personal and professional achievements, this biography provides insight into the life of a prominent figure in Southern education during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
