Rezensionen
What counts is that Kerstetter makes comprehensible the dizzying array of religion in the West and illuminates how belief systems often penetrated secular affairs to shape the contours of history. He is right to proclaim, "This is important stuff"
"In this latest volume in the Western History Series, Todd Kerstetter lucidly depicts how religious belief and practices shaped the lives and interactions of the diverse peoples who lived in and fought for control of the American West."
John Turner, George Mason University
