Beschreibung

God With Men: Or Footprints Of Providential Leaders is a book written by Samuel Osgood and originally published in 1853. The book is a collection of biographical sketches of notable historical figures who are believed to have been guided by divine providence in their actions and decisions. Through his writing, Osgood explores the idea that God has a plan for humanity and that certain individuals are chosen to play a special role in carrying out that plan. He profiles leaders from a variety of backgrounds and time periods, including Moses, David, Joan of Arc, Martin Luther, and George Washington, among others. Each chapter provides a detailed account of the individual's life and accomplishments, as well as their relationship with God and how it influenced their actions. Osgood also draws connections between these leaders and the broader themes of history and the human experience, making the book not only a collection of biographies but also a reflection on the role of faith in shaping the course of human events. Overall, God With Men: Or Footprints Of Providential Leaders is a thought-provoking and insightful look at the intersection of faith and history, and the impact that individuals guided by divine providence can have on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

American businessman and politician Samuel Osgood was born in Andover, Massachusetts, which is now part of North Andover, Massachusetts, on February 3, 1747. He died August 12, 1813. At 440 Osgood Street in North Andover, his family home still stands. In New York City, his home, the Samuel Osgood House, was the first Presidential house in the country. He was a lawmaker in both Massachusetts and New York, and he represented Massachusetts in the Continental Congress. During George Washington's first term, he was the fourth Postmaster General of the United States and the first under the current Constitution. In 1812, he was chosen to be the first president of the brand-new City Bank of New York. This bank later changed its name to Citibank and is the parent company of Citigroup today. In 1638, John Osgood and his family moved from Andover, England, to Massachusetts. He began a new village there in 1646 and named it Andover after his home town. After four generations, Captain Peter Osgood moved in and had a third son in 1747. He named him Samuel. Samuel first went to Dummer Academy, which is now called The Governor's Academy. He then went to Harvard College to study theology and finished in 1770. He later went back to Andover to start a job in trade.
