He was born in Pulaski Kentucky and raised in the Methodist Church. In 1853 he was licensed by the Methodist Episcopal Church to preach and in 1868 attained full membership in the Kentucky Conference. Also in 1868 he experienced entire sanctification a doctrine he fervently espoused in his pastoral and evangelistic career. He also taught in public schools and assumed the presidency of Harmonia College in Perryville Kentucky for a time. He was a prodigious author publishing more than 200 books and pamphlets on topics including doctrine new religious movements the Second Coming and divine healing. He travelled extensively across the country and the world preaching the holiness message. He taught at God's Bible School in Cincinnati Ohio and became known in part for his unconventional dress and personal lifestyle.

OUR UNIVERSE bound along top edge ten pages autograph ink; perhaps a fragment. 4. THE THEORY OF BIBOLUTION 1948 tape-bound along top edge with two prelims 143 pages rectos only largely typescript but interleaved with 43 lively original illustrations either on Simmons’ own or Michigan Trust Company letterhead with numerous manuscript corrections. <br/><br/>Wonderfully eccentric assemblage that while clearly intended for eventual publication remains an impressive and elaborate creation of an engaging outsider artist. V. L. R. Simmons was a self-professed Native American: “I am an Indian by choice and applied study not by birth or adoption. Part of my story comes from theory and inspiration” Preface GREAT SPIRIT. But he was also an anthropo-religio-philoso-scholar and in this cataloguer's biased opinion an unheralded folk artist. Simmons and his wife Nellie appear to have held curious theories about the role of light and color in evolution—or as they would have it Bibolution or “the Simmons theory of life”: life was formed when light creates life force; light as souls transmigrate or leave the body; adultery changes your spirit color etc. The couple also seems to have developed idiosyncratic anthropological views tending toward an Old Testament lineage for the American Indians possibly influenced by Mormonism. There is much in these manuscripts suggesting deep and fruitful study of the subjects Simmons provides an extensive American Indian sign vocabulary for example though also much in the way of untutored but entertaining religious and scientific speculation deeply in the American grain. At least as much as the particulars of the content however are the particulars of the execution. The typescript of GREAT SPIRIT exhibits a kind of overflowing exuberance with fold-out charts and maps including one of the migration of Nimrod's descendants tipped in holograph additions and even an extraordinary five-foot-long lineage of Adam. But it is BIBOLUTION's illustrations that capture a true folk artist at work. While these pen and ink drawings of animals and other creatures with mounted typed captions are meant to illustrate the Simmons’ theories of evolution taken in total they reveal a distinctive outsider voice. Crude on first examination they soon coalesce around a bold confidence and singular vision — powerful and compelling. They show the influence of Native American cave paintings and other primitive arts but filtered through Simmons' auto-didactic and peculiar point-of-view. OCLC notes three locations for a 1950 published version of BIBOLUTION and NUC locates a 1939 work entitled A LEXICON OF NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS and an expanded 1945 edition that evidently incorporating material from GREAT SPIRIT held at the Library of Congress. Weird and quintessentially American worthy of further study and exhibition. unknown books
