Cover Reveal! 'The Lamplighter: Harry T. Burleigh and the Birth of American Music
Coming this November!
From the depths of near obscurity at the turn of the last century, a young African American man rose to fame through such seemingly ordinary things as talent, education, hard work, family ties, and faith in God. Through these pieces of life, God led Harry T. Burleigh to worldwide acclaim – and through him, he preserved songs that would form the foundation of American music.
Now Burleigh is lifted out of obscurity once more by Dr. Craig von Buseck. This inspiring true story will take you back to Southern plantations and Northern boom towns, to minstrel shows and soaring sanctuaries, and into the heart of a man who never suspected that God had destined him for greatness.
“I’m thrilled that the historical and important story of the legendary Harry Burleigh is finally being told! That he was, for fifty-two years, a member and celebrated soloist at the very church I attend here in New York City makes it all the more extraordinary. Hats off to Craig von Buseck for his tremendous research and work!” - Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy.
