| Title | The Burned-Over District: The Social and Intellectual History of Enthusiastic Religion in Western New York, 1800-1850. |
| Publication | Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1950. 383 pp. Repr. 1965 by Harper & Row, New York. |
| Subject(s) | : 19th CENTURY PROTESTANTISM |
| Notes | (An excellent scholarly survey of the Protestant denominations which found Western New York a fertile field for religious expansion; also discusses new movements like the Mormons, Millerites, etc. Best read for narrative and copious notes; the sociological explanation of a maturing regional economy takes too little account of particular community circumstances.) |
