John Bunyan (1628-1688), b. at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England. “After learning to read and write he followed his father's business of a travelling tinker. Led a dissolute life for some time, but was at length converted, and began to study the Holy Scriptures, in which he acquired a great knowledge. Served in the Parliament Army. Became a member of a Baptist congregation at Bedford, about 1655, to whom he occasionally preached, for which, at the Restoration, he was confined in Bedford for twelve years and a half. It was here that he wrote his Pilgrim's Progress, one of the most original and popular books in the English language. On being released he became teacher of the Baptist congregation at Bedford.” - Darling's Cyclopedia Bibliographica.
