The User Guide for the Library of Appalachian Preaching is a Google Sheet that can be searched, sorted, and downloaded for offline use.
This part of the Guide provides information about the 26 sermons in The West Virginia Pulpit (the Table of Contents lists 27 sermons, but there is no Sermon XII). It includes the preacher's name, sermon title, sermon text, date and place the sermon was preached, and so on. This information is available in the master list of sermons as well.

The West Virginia Pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Sermons from Living Ministers, with Personal Sketches of the Authors
George W. Atkinson
This collection features 26 preachers who were still living at the time it was published in 1883. In the words of the Preface, they were “well known clergymen…worthy of the recognition” of being included in the volume (5). Each sermon is preceded by a brief “personal sketch” giving an overview of the preacher’s life and ministry.
The West Virginia Pulpit was compiled by George W. Atkinson, a lawyer and scholar who served as governor of West Virginia from 1897 to 1901. He was also the co-editor, along with Alvaro F. Gibbens, of Prominent Men of West Virginia (Wheeling, WV: W. L. Callin, 1890). As the subtitle indicates, it contains “biographical sketches of representative men in every honorable vocation”; many of the preachers in The West Virginia Pulpit are included there as well.
