Epigraph

The inspiration of religion lies in the history of religion. By this I mean that it is to be found in the primary expressions of the intuitions of the finest types of religious lives.
—Alfred North Whitehead

Dedication

To the memory of my Mormon forebears, many of whom experienced the events portrayed in this book.

First words

Preface: The Mormon story, insofar as it has been told with any degree of sympathy, has usually been seen as a comic episode in American history.

Chapter One: The village of Kirtland, Ohio, lay at the crossroads of two main immigrant highways into the Western Reserve.
