Book Review of The Kingdom of Matthias: A Story of Sex and Salvation in 19th-Century America

reviewed on + 30 more book reviews


An interesting read, if somewhat dry. The subject matter is fascinating in its look at the power of the "Penny Press" on politics, religious fervor, and the social behavior of the times. Is our press today doing any differently? Take a look into this book and see for yourself.
