Marty's vivid chronological account of the people and events that carved the spiritual landscape of America.  It is in one sense a study of migration, with each wave of immigrants bringing a set of religious beliefs to a new world.  The narrative unfolds through sharply detailed biographical vignettes—stories of religious \"pathfinders,\" including William Penn, Mary Baker Eddy, Henry David Thoreau, and many other leaders of movements, both marginal and mainstream.  In addition, Marty considers the impact of religion on social issues such as racism, feminism, and utopianism.\u003cp\u003eAnd engrossing, highly readable, and comprehensive history, \u003cb\u003ePilgrims in Their Own Land\u003c\/b\u003e is written with respect, appreciation, and insight into the multitude of religious groups that represent expressions of spirituality in America.\u003c\/p\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e1.
