( About the Book The Americas were settled by people migr...)
About the Book The Americas were settled by people migrating from Asia at the height of an Ice Age 15,000 years ago. There was no contact with Europeans until Vikings appeared briefly in the 10th century, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492. America's Indigenous peoples were the Paleo-Indians, who were initially hunter-gatherers. Post 1492, Spanish, Portuguese and later English, French and Dutch colonialists arrived, conquering and settling the discovered lands over three centuries, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. The United States achieved independence from England in 1776, while Brazil and the larger Hispanic American nations declared independence in the 19th century. Canada became a federal dominion in 1867. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Fennell Parrish Turner was born on February 25, 1867 in Danielsville, Dickson County, Tenn. He was the son of William Allen and Mary Jane (Pickett) Turner. Reared in the family of a Methodist minister and descended from a long line of ministers, he was naturally predisposed to the profession of his father and began preaching when in his teens. The oldest of the family, he shared the responsibility of helping to educate the younger children.
He attended the common schools, then the Wall School at Chapel Hill, Tenn. , and in 1891 graduated from Vanderbilt University. He interrupted his college course for two years, 1888-1890, to be principal of Dixon Academy, at Shelbyville, Tenn. For a year, 1891-92, he was a student in the Biblical department of Vanderbilt University but left to give full time to the Tennessee Methodist.
He became assistant editor and business manager in 1891.
In 1895 he became state secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association for North Carolina. From this position he passed in 1897 to that of general secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, then closely associated with the student department of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian Association.
The Student Volunteer Movement, at the time Turner took charge of it, was scarcely ten years old. As a recruiting and educating agency for Protestant foreign missions, it had a large part in the religious life of the colleges and universities of the United States and Canada and in the growth of American foreign missions. The quadrennial conventions held by the Movement drew more students from more of the colleges and universities of North America than any other gatherings, secular or religious.
Turner's twenty-two years (1897 - 1919) as its secretary spanned the Movement's most prosperous years, and for its development he was to no small degree responsible.
In 1911 he brought about the organization of the Board of Missionary Preparation and was chiefly responsible for it until 1916. In 1918 he became the secretary of the Committee of Reference and Counsel of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America--the body co"rdinating the Protestant foreign mission boards of the Continent--and the following year he resigned from the secretaryship of the Student Volunteer Movement to give his entire time to the new post.
From 1919 to 1928 he was also recording secretary of the Foreign Missions Conference. During these years in New York, he found time to serve with several other organizations whose work was closely related to that in which he was chiefly engaged: from 1912 to 1919 he was a member of the general committee of the World's Student Christian Federation; in 1910 he attended the World Missionary Conference at Edinburgh; from 1920 to 1928 he was a member of the committee of the newly formed International Missionary Council, and was present at four of the meetings of that body, including the memorable one at Jerusalem in 1928; he was a member of the executive committee of the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches, and of the administrative committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America; and he was a delegate to international gatherings which planned for Protestant activities in Latin America--at Panama in 1916, at Montevideo in 1925, and in Havana in 1929. In these and many other connections he had a share in the formulation of the policies for the international outreach of Protestant Christianity.
In 1928, when the strain of the years of heavy administrative duties had at last become insupportable, he severed most of his major New York connections and became secretary for missionary education and foreign extension of the General Sunday-school Board of the denomination of his youth, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and served until 1930.
In 1930-31 he traveled in Asia as a member of the research staff of the Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry. His report, "Missionary Personnel in India, Burma, China, and Japan, " was published in Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry: Fact-Finders' Reports, vol. VII (1933).
Not especially gifted in public address, and never writing much under his own name, Turner gave most of his energy to administration, to personal counsel, to service on boards and committees, and to editing papers and reports.
Shortly after his return from the East, increasing ill health forced him to retire to Southern California and a few months later he died at Santa Cruz.

A prodigious and not a quick worker, he willingly and patiently bore burdens which, as the years passed, broke his health. Kindly, companionable, unassuming, and unselfish, he won and held a wide circle of friends.
On November 3, 1897 he was married to Rose Vaughan of Nashville, Tenn.
