“Individual Influence”: April 1, 1883

The William M. Blackburn Papers, 1855-1910, consist primarily of his handwritten sermons. Most of the sermons were delivered on multiple occasions and are arranged chronologically by the date the sermon was first delivered. Also included are several folders of miscellaneous untitled manuscripts and two folders of correspondence. Also included is a copy of Blackburn’s sermon “The Crime Against the Presidency” reproduced on microfiche. The sermon was delivered Sunday, April 16, 1865, at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, in Trenton, New Jersey. This was the first Sunday following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
