Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Chisholmâs solo journey on foot from the Missouri River to Salt Lake City retraced the 1,100-mile trek of nineteenth-century Mormon pioneers. In this account, he juxtaposes that Mormon search for the dream of âcommunityâ against the modern search for the American dream of âindividuality,â muses over how much and how little things have changed in the century-and-a-half since 1847, and creates a narrative informed by the American dreamers he came across from Omaha to Salt Lake City.
Clive Scott Chisholm wryly describes himself as a âfugitive from the American Dream.â A displaced Canadian and a legally âregistered alien,â Chisholm set out from his home in upstate New York in 1985 to discover the origins of that dream. In Following the Wrong God Home, he recounts his personal odyssey, describing the people he encountered and the unforgettable stories they told.
