Book Synopsis The Burned-over District by : Whitney R. Cross
Book excerpt: During the first half of the nineteenth century the wooded hills and the valleys of western New York State were swept by fires of the spirit. The fervent religiosity of the region caused historians to call it the "burned-over district."
