Memoir of Right Reverend James Hervey Otey, the First Bishop of Tennessee (1885) is a biographical account of the life and accomplishments of James Hervey Otey, the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee. The book was written by William Mercer Green, a bishop in the Episcopal Church and a close friend of Otey's. The memoir covers Otey's life from his birth in Virginia in 1800, through his early years as a student and teacher, his ordination as a deacon and priest, and his eventual consecration as bishop in 1834. The book provides a detailed account of Otey's work in establishing the Episcopal Church in Tennessee, including his efforts to build churches, establish schools, and promote the growth of the church in the region. The memoir also covers Otey's personal life, including his marriage to Mary Elizabeth Hening and his relationships with his family and friends. The book includes numerous anecdotes and personal reminiscences of Otey, as well as letters and other documents that shed light on his character and accomplishments. Overall, Memoir of Right Reverend James Hervey Otey, the First Bishop of Tennessee provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering religious leader in the American South, and offers valuable insights into the history of the Episcopal Church in Tennessee and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
