Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 154
On June 27, 1844, a mob stormed the jail in the dusty frontier town of Carthage, Illinois. Clamorous and angry, they were hunting down a man they saw as a grave threat to their otherwise quiet lives: The founding prophet of Mormonism, Joseph Smith. They wanted blood. At thirty-nine years old, Smith had already lived an outsized life. In addition to starting the Church of Latter-Day Saints and creating his own "Golden Bible" - the Book of Mormon - he had worked as a water-dowser and treasure hunter.

If you could sum up American Crucifixion in three words, what would they be?
very well done and it leaves the listener feeling as though they were there and more informed.
What other book might you compare American Crucifixion to and why?
I would need to say the crucifixion of any great man and his cause is a tragedy, but the closest book that comes close is the crucifixion of Christ
Which scene was your favorite?
my favorite scene would need to be at the very beginning when the author describes the mob that killed the prophet in cold blood
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
How Joseph Smith Legacy Lives and Lives would be in red ink as it drips down the page as blood would.

A story described by Katherine Paterson as "didactic camp", a very funny but also thought-provoking fantasy about the issue of gayness. This controversial tale has given enormous comfort to many young people struggling with their own sexual identity.
