Henry Ward Beecher (
An 1875 adultery trial in which he was accused of having an affair with a married woman was one of the most famous American trials of the 19th century. [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/16/books/review/16kazin.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print] Kazin, Michael, "The Gospel of Love" a review of "The Most Famous Man in America," by Debby Applegate, The New York Times Book Review, Biography Early life Born in The Beecher household was exemplary of the orthodox ministry that Lyman Beecher preached. His family not only prayed at the beginning and end of each day but also sang hymns and prepared for other rigorous church obligations. The family members were expected to participate in prayer meetings, attend lectures and other church functions. "Undue frivolity was discouraged, so they did not celebrate Henry was especially close to his sister Harriet, two years his senior, according to the web site of the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn Heights, New York City. "This friendship with Harriet continued throughout their lives, and she was still listed on the membership rolls of Plymouth Church when she died in 1896." "Henry, bashful and mumbling as a child, began his oratorical training at Mt. Pleasant Institution, a boarding school in Beecher also attended In 1847, he was appointed the first minister of the new Plymouth Congregational Church in Beecher's fame on the lecture circuit led to his becoming editor of several religious magazines, and he received large advances for a novel and for a biography of Jesus. Beecher-Tilton Scandal "His career took place during what one scholar has called the Protestant Century," according to Kazin, "when an eloquent preacher could be a sexy celebrity, the leader of one or more reform movements and a popular philosopher — all at the same time." Muscular and long-haired, the preacher was close to a series of attractive young women, but his wife, Eunice, the mother of his 10 children, was "unloved." In the highly publicized scandal known as the "Beecher-Tilton Affair" he was tried on charges that he had committed adultery with a friend's wife, Elizabeth Tilton. In 1870, Elizabeth had confessed to her husband, The charges became public when Theodore Tilton told Victoria became angry, as Henry Ward Beecher had publicly denounced her advocacy of free love. She published a story in her paper ("Woodhull and Claflin's Weekly") on November 2, 1872, claiming that America's most renowned clergyman was secretly practicing the free-love doctrines which he denounced from the pulpit. The story created a national sensation. As a result, Victoria was arrested in New York City and imprisoned for sending obscene material through the mail. The Plymouth Church held a board of inquiry and exonerated Beecher, but excommunicated Mr. Tilton in 1873. Tilton then sued Beecher: the trial began in January 1875, and ended in July when the jurors deliberated for six days but were unable to reach a verdict. His wife loyally supported him throughout the ordeal. A second board of enquiry was held at Plymouth Church and this body also exonerated Beecher. Two years later, Elizabeth Tilton once again confessed to the affair and the church excommunicated her. Despite this Beecher continued to be a popular national figure. However, the debacle split his family. While most of his siblings supported him, one of his sisters, the nationally known women's rights leader Isabella Beecher Hooker, openly supported one of his accusers. Death Henry Ward Beecher died of a ocial and political views An advocate of women's During the antebellum period, he raised funds to buy weapons for those willing to oppose slavery in During the Beecher's liberalism did not extend to the working class. During the Preaching style Thousands of worshipers flocked to Beecher's enormous Beecher himself had this to say of his preaching style:"From the beginning, I educated myself to speak along the line and in the current of my moral convictions; and though, in later days, it has carried me through places where there were some batterings and bruisings, yet I have been supremely grateful that I was led to adopt this course. I would rather speak the truth to ten men than blandishments and lying to a million. Try it, ye who think there is nothing in it! try what it is to speak with God behind you,--to speak so as to be only the arrow in the bow which the Almighty draws." (Beecher, pp. 138-139) "He obtained the chains with which Theology Henry's father preached a form of Legacy *"He developed a passion for jewels, which he carried, unset, in his pockets, taking them out for comfort when he was tired or in low spirits."
