Viac o knihe
Focusing on the intersection of railroads, tourism, and bureaucracy, David Walker explores the rise of Mormonism during the railroad era, centering on Corinne, Utah—a town established by anti-Mormon entrepreneurs. The narrative reveals the fierce competition among various groups to influence Mormonism's position in the West. Despite the founders' intentions to undermine Mormon theocracy through industrial means, Corinne evolved into a surprising hub of religious and cultural significance, reflecting the complexities of frontier life and belief systems.
