"The Advent Message in the Golden West" ; Formerly Pioneering the Message in the Golden West. This book is a work of history of the Seventh-day Adventists west of the Rockies in the mid to late 1800's to the early 1900's; and the author, Dr. McCumber, is a historian. It is hoped that this new edition may be a means of helping today's generation of Seventh-day Adventists know how God has led in the past, and thus be inspired to carry forward to completion the work so nobly begun by the pioneers.
