Focusing on the rise of Mormonism during the railroad era, David Walker examines the unique dynamics in Corinne, Utah, a railroad town established by anti-Mormon entrepreneurs. The narrative reveals the intense conflict among various theological, political, and economic factions vying for influence in the region. While the founders aimed to use industrial power to dismantle Mormon authority, Corinne ultimately evolved into a battleground for competing visions of community and faith, highlighting the complex interplay of religion and commerce in the American West.
