- Summary:
-
"An account of the interaction between the older William Cooke and William Booth through their association with the Methodist New Connexion and the emergent Salvation Army. The linkage of these two leaders and their contemporaries provides a back-story to the East London Christian Revival Union, founded by Booth in 1865, and variously named until it had spread beyond East London. It was then renamed as the Christian Mission in July 1869."--Abstract.
