| description |
Shores changed circuits every year or two, covering the following counties from 1851 to 1861: Autauga, Barbour, Clarke, Dallas, Fayette, Greene, Lowndes, Marengo, Marion, Perry, Russell, and Sumter Counties in Alabama; and Lowndes and Monroe Counties in Mississippi. When writing about preaching appointments, he lists the dates, locations, and sermon texts for each. In his year-end summaries, he records the number of sermons and classes presented, total distance traveled, number of persons converted and visited, amount of money collected, and topics of personal study. Of particular note in this manuscript are his notes from 1851 and 1853, which include lists of enslaved people preached to and lists of "promiscuous places preached at" (Shores uses "promiscuous" to mean "irregular"; that is, locations not on his regular circuit). |
