Discover the Secrets of America's Sacred Landscape
In Apocalyptic Geographies, Jerome Tharaud uncovers how 19th-century white Protestant evangelicals used media to create a ""sacred space"" in America's expanding landscape. Through an exploration of print media, landscape paintings, and religious tracts, Tharaud reveals how evangelical ideas shaped not only spiritual journeys but also the very fabric of American society.

- Landscape paintings like Thomas Cole's ""The Oxbow""
