A man you need to know about
As a pastor, preacher, theologian, educator, author, hymn writer, philanthropist and patriot, Philip Doddridge (1702-51) was a remarkable English Christian by any standard. His faithful, fragrant and far-reaching testimony to Christ made him unique in his day. This tribute introduces us to an attractive personality whose remarkable achievements merit renewed attention. At a time of confusion and uncertainty in church and society, the author believes that a rediscovery of Doddridge's contribution is long overdue.

Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of Virginia Pennsylvania from 1763 to 1783, Inclusive
Published in Paperback by Heritage Books (July, 1991)
Author: Joseph Doddridge
Average review score:

Important primary source of pioneer, frontier life
Joseph A. Doddridge, medical doctor and Episcopal pastor, provides this important primary source of frontier pioneer life near the turn of the eighteenth century. He writes with an eloquence no longer taught. His Notes are compatible with Jefferson's Notes on Virginia and cover the everyday practical details of life on the frontier. The book and supplements added by his daughter, Narcissa Doddridge, describe life in the Tri-state area of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. A man of his times, Doddridge still shows a respect and admiration of American Indians apart from some violence he experienced. The growth of a new civilization is what Doddridge proclaims and seeks to preserve. The growth process is evident in his tracing of early important institutions such as churches, freemasonry, schools, and transportation. This is the account of a humble man who knew he and his people were doing something important and doing it well.

Lorna Doone.
Published in Hardcover by Dodd Mead (June, 1970)
Author: Richard Doddridge, Blackmore
Average review score:

Heroine AND harvest, Damsel AND ducks.
Yes, this is a romance, complete with endangered heroine, noble highway man, political intrigue, and unlikely last minute reprievals from doom. BUT the hero and narrator, John Ridd, is a farmer; big, strong, no brighter than he ought to be, benevolent, and practical. The fabulous valley of the Doones is firmly ensconced in the everyday Exmoor of 18th century England: the stock must be fed, the hay must be made, the farm-hands managed. In this world it's wonderfully right that the only farmer in Exmoor strong and determined enough to rescue his entire flock from the worst blizzard in years should also rescues lovely Lorna from the vicious Doone clan. Better yet, he also views both extraordinary feats as his simple duty, and describes their despatch more in terms of expedient (the mechanics of snow-shoes, the failure of the signals arranged between the parted lovers) than in flowery language of the heart. Lorna Doone is a paragon of 19th century Romances; Blackmore's writing displays, at their best, the literary qualities sought by his contemporaries: read this book for novel adventure, copiously detailed incident, moral improvement and wonder. You'll wish for an entire winter by the fire-place in order to savor it fully.

Surprisingly Good
I was surprised that Lorna Doone by Richard Blackmore was a good as it turned out to be. It had a very compelling story and good characters even if the novel seemed a bit wordy at times. Lorna Doone is also the single best example of a romantic novel. It may not be among the very best of this category (like The Scarlet Letter, Moby Dick, or any of Jane Austen's novels), but it does fit every criteria. It had a major emphasis on feeling as the whole of the book is a love story between John Ridd and Lorna Doone. The book also has a lot of high adventure in it and an emphasis of nature (Blackmore was just about the only English forerunner of Thomas Hardy in novels in this respect). The novel was even about the common man.

The plot of the novel follows John Ridd. He is a respectable farmer who one day happens into the valley of the Doone's, a family/community of outlaws who had killed his father. There, he ends up falling in love with one of the Doone's own, Lorna. Then, John has to find a way to save his love and overcome their differences of birth.

Lorna Doone is a very interesting read. It may not be for everyone because it is long and does tend to dwell on some trivial things for a bit too long. The novel would be good for anyone who likes classics of romanticism. Lorna Doone can be a very worthwhile read.

Has a lot of mistakes , but it's just great.
Couldn't be perfect , because we the people ( the human race ) aren't ( still ) perfect . That's why you've got to see this book by the human's race eyes . If you haven't ever feel great emotions : just read this book. I hope you get to read LORNA DOONE someday . No matter your age . You don't have to be in your teens to read it .

A Good Source of Information on Richard Doddridge Blackmore
At least a portion of the book's title lives up to its name in that it is the best source yet for information on the LIFE of Richard Doddridge Blackmore. As a very distant relative (fifth cousin four times removed) it provided me with a wealth of information about his family history.
