From the Preface: In the course of my annual visit to St. Louis, in the spring of 1886, I gave four lectures in the great theater of the Exposition Building, in aid of the fund for erecting a monument to General Grant. These lectures touched upon many of the points treated in chapters 1-8 of the present work, ending with the battle of Chattanooga. It is pleasant to remember the warm interest shown in the lectures by General Sherman, who presided on each occasion, and enlivened the suppers which followed with his abounding good-fellowship and his flashes of quaint wit. Those were evenings not to be forgotten. The lectures-illustrated with maps, diagrams, views of towns and fortresses, landscapes and portraits, with the aide of the stereopticon-were given during two years in many cities north of Mason and Dixon�������s line, from Lewiston in Maine to Portland in Oregon...In preparing this narrative I have had due recourse to the abundant printed sources of information, and owe much besides to personal association with many of the actors.

"Through Nature to God" is a book written by John Fiske, an American philosopher and historian, and it was published in 1899. This work is part of the broader literature in the late 19th century that sought to reconcile science and religion, reflecting the intellectual climate of the time. Key aspects of "Through Nature to God" include: Harmony of Science and Religion: The book's central theme is the reconciliation of science and religion. Fiske argues that the findings of modern science do not necessarily contradict religious beliefs but can be seen as complementary. He believes that science and religion can coexist and that both provide valuable insights into the nature of the universe and the divine. Evolutionary Perspective: Fiske was deeply influenced by the concept of evolution, particularly Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. He believed that an evolutionary understanding of the natural world could be integrated with religious thought. Fiske saw evolution as a means by which to appreciate the grandeur and complexity of the universe, rather than as a threat to religious faith. Theological Considerations: Fiske discusses theological matters, including the concept of God and the relationship between the divine and the natural world. He argues that the evolutionary process, as revealed by science, can be seen as a manifestation of God's plan. Nature as a Source of Inspiration: Fiske emphasizes the idea that studying nature can lead to a deeper appreciation of the divine. He sees the natural world as a source of wonder and inspiration, where the complexity and order of the universe can be seen as evidence of a higher purpose. Influence on Progressive Theology: Fiske's work had a significant impact on progressive theology during his time. It was part of a broader movement that sought to modernize religious thought in the face of advancements in science and philosophy. "Through Nature to God" reflects the intellectual climate of the late 19th century, when there was a growing interest in reconciling science and religion. John Fiske's perspective was that science and religion need not be in conflict and that the study of the natural world can enhance one's spiritual and religious experience. The book remains of historical interest in the study of the relationship between science and religion and the evolution of theological thought in the United States during this period.

John Fiske was an American philosopher and historian who wrote letters to Charles Darwin and became a voluminous writer of histories near the end of his life. The largest part of his life was devoted to the study of history, but at an early age inquiries into the nature of human progress led him to a careful study of the doctrine of evolution, and it was through the popularization of Charles Darwin's work that he first became known to the public. He applied himself to the philosophical interpretation of Darwin's work and produced many books and essays on this subject. His philosophy was influenced by Herbert Spencer's views on evolution. In a letter from Charles Darwin to John Fiske, dated from 1874, the naturalist remarks: "I never in my life read so lucid an expositor (and therefore thinker) as you are." Later he turned to historical writings, publishing books such as The Discovery of America (1892, ISBN 1-932080-42-2). In addition, he edited, with James Grant Wilson, Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography (1887). He died, worn out by overwork, at Gloucester, Massachusetts, July 4, 1901. One of Fiske's best-known works is Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, a comprehensive look at the earliest period of colonial America near the start of the 17th century.
