[Little Rock] Arkansas True Democrat, April 7, 1860
The Montgomery Mail, of the 29th, says: At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, by previous arrangement, there was a burning of the works of the notorious English abolitionist, Spurgeon, at the bookstore of Mr. B. B. Davis, Market street. Mr. Davis prepared a good fire of pine sticks, in the rear of his store, and in the presence of several gentlemen—some of them true Baptists—about sixty volumes of Spurgeon were reduced to smoke and ashes.
