In the twenty years that have passed since the first edition, there has been uncovered much additional information as myself and others have continued to investigate John Thomas and his times. Also, information on the internet has greatly increased. This expanded edition therefore includes:

• An extended introduction to additional people who had major religious influences on John Thomas, and the impact of technology on his travels.
• Additional information on the family of John Thomas, especially a more developed relationship with his brother, Robert Innocence, who housed the rest of the Thomas family for years.
• Information on the early churches associated with John Thomas
• An introduction to his final baptizer, John Tomline Walsh, and the first Christadelphian Church building.
• Recently uncovered evidence on the early activities of Dr. Thomas as a doctor in Cincinnati, and additional information on Albert Anderson, the first and longest convert.
• An expanded section of military service and the Civil War in the South.
