Autorenporträt

American author and minister Harvey Newcomb was born on September 2, 1803 and died on August 30, 1863. Vermont is where he was born. He went to western New York in 1818 and taught for eight years. From 1826 to 1831, he was the editor of several journals, the last of which was the Christian Herald. He worked on writing and putting together books for the American Sunday School Union for the next ten years. In 1840, he got his license to teach. That same year, he became the pastor of a Congregational church in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, and went on to lead other churches. In 1849, he was editor of the Boston Traveller. From 1850 to 1851, he was deputy editor of the New York Observer and preached at the Park Street mission church in Brooklyn, New York. In 1859, he became pastor of a church in Hancock, Pennsylvania. He often wrote for church magazines as well as the Boston Recorder and the Youth's Companion. Fourteen of his 178 books were about church history. Most of the others were books for kids, like Young Lady's Guide (New York, 1839), How to be a Man (Boston, 1846), How to be a Lady (1846), and Cyclopedia of Missions (1854; 4th ed., 1856).
