About the author
Ezra Eastman Adams was an American Presbyterian clergyman and author whose surviving works were published under the name E. E. Adams. Project Gutenberg identifies him as E. E. (Ezra Eastman) Adams, 1813–1871, and preserves Government and Rebellion, a sermon delivered at North Broad Street Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia on April 28, 1861.
That sermon shows the kind of writer he was: direct, deeply religious, and strongly engaged with the public questions of his day. Rather than writing fiction or light essays, Adams wrote for listeners and readers who expected moral argument, biblical framing, and a clear response to national events.
Because easily available biographical details are limited, his life is best approached through the work that remains in print. Even so, those writings make him an interesting figure for audiobook listeners who enjoy historical sermons, 19th-century religious thought, and firsthand voices from the era of the American Civil War.
