Button's Inn

by Albion W. Tourgée

Excerpt from Button's Inn

Intimate association with one of the early disciples, and the acquaintance of some very intelligent believers in this curious faith have given me a strong interest in its origin and the philosophy of its evolution from the religious life of that day. This evolution I have sought to indicate, rather than laboriously to trace.

[Matthew · Rating 2 out of 5]

An odd, Romantic fiction story. Some Mystery. Some Mormonism. Some Melancholy. Definitely a product of Tourgee's Ohio Western Reserve in the 19th-century.
