Although it's in the museum now, it seems to me it was lying in a hole in the ground covered by a tent then.<BR/><BR/>I really miss upstate New York and would love to return someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370689.post-1152116011774830232006-07-05T12:13:00.000-04:002006-07-05T12:13:00.000-04:00Interesting entry - I came across it while browsin...Interesting entry - I came across it while browsing the net for the phrase "Burnt-over district". <BR/><BR/>I am doing some undergrad research at Kent State University on antebellum religion, specifically in my home county of Lorain County, Ohio. Lorain County has a Charles Finney connection and I might mention that while his revival techniques did seem to be close to Pentecostalism he was not a Pentecostal, as the movement didn't start until about 100 years ago in 1906. <BR/><BR/>Good post, though, and I think the ideo of American Spirtualism is certainly something overlooked in the study of the Second Great Awakening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
