Northern New England; a rugged landscape dotted with transient settlements; posed challenges to the traditional town church in the wake of the American Revolution. Using the methods of spatial geography; Shelby M. Balik examines how migrants adapted their understanding of religious community and spiritual space to survive in the harsh physical surroundings of the region. The notions of boundaries; place; and identity they developed became the basis for spreading New England's deeply rooted spiritual culture; even as it opened the way to a new evangelical age.
