AAmy Lee Stockton, whom Kevin Bauder calls "Baptist Fundamentalism's most famous female evangelist"
the autobiography of Amy Lee Stockton says that it was an unfinished memoir
Yes it's an unpublished manuscript, held in the archives of Northern Baptist Seminary.

But I have acquired this, which contains some biographical information:

God's Approval of a Woman Preacher, by Amy Lee Stockton

I also recently acquired this songbook of the Stockton-Gould Evangelistic Campaigns!GouldB.jpg

Please let me know when it becomes available in the UK (via Amazon?). I shall read it with interest. Before my time on the B.B. I had never heard of John R, Rice but I'm sure that's to my loss. The only American Fundamentalist whose biography I have read is Billy Sunday.
It is available in Kindle format on Amazon. Our publisher here should be able to ship to the UK. I'll ask.

Alas, the publisher is very new, and they are not yet set up for international shipping. But as I said it is on Kindle, which doesn't need shipping, if you are familiar with that format. An audio book version is also in the works.

If you want a physical copy, I can order it and send it to you. You'll just have to pay the cost of the purchase (27.30 includes shipping to me) and mailing to UK (not cheap, $24.50), total 40.7 Pounds. We could do it via paypal, although I doubt you want to pay that much.

Unless you know someone in the US military who is stationed in the UK - as it can be sent via the APO system
 
The Man Behind the Patch (Ron Hamilton) was published by Majesty Music & Publications this fall.

Have any other fundamental Baptist biographies been published in the past eighteen months?

Hello.

I am new to the Baptist Board, and I am very excited to be here.

For several months now, I have followed the activity on this forum. My observations are that there are numerous Fundamental Baptists who are active members. That is the main reason why I joined. I need help in researching my history of Baptistic Fundamentalism.

Years ago, I purchased a biography of Lee Roberson. The book was such a blessing that I began to pick up more Fundamental Baptist biographies whenever I had the chance. Recently, I have begun to acquire them in earnest, but I fear that I am reaching the end of my list. Does anybody on this forum know of any obscure (rare, out-of-print, expensive, etc.) biographies about individuals within the Fundamental Baptist movement?

Here are the ones that I currently have:

Russell Anderson
Rod Bell, Sr.
Dallas Billington
B. Myron Cedarholm
R. V. Clearwaters
Fred S. Donnelson
W. E. Dowell
Jacob Gartenhaus
Mordecai Ham
Arlin Horton
R. L. Hymers
Jack Hyles
Bob Jones, Sr.
E. Robert Jordan
Robert T. Ketcham
Tom Malone
J. Frank Norris
Monroe Parker
Ford Porter
Hugh F. Pyle
John Rawlings
John R. Rice
W. B. Riley
Lee Roberson
T. T. Shields
Don Sisk
G. B. Vick

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
George W. Dollar wrote A History of Fundamentalism in America in 1973. It was updated by his son G.W., Jr.) and daughter (Marcia Dollar Phillips) in 2006, after G.W.D.'s death. A biographical list of Fundamentalist, past and present, is included in his book. Very good source if you are looking to add to your list of names.
