Leader (1946); and Starr's sketch of Sankey's life in DAB, vol. 16, pp. 352–353. There are relatively few references to Sankey in W. R. Moody, D. L. Moody (although there are more than the five indicated by the index) and they are not all complimentary, although Ludwig (pp. 142–147) states that Moody and Sankey got along "on the best of terms," but perhaps the same was not true of their families.
