Note:Johnson says he sought to "capture the essence of the camp meeting" and to "place it in proper perspective -- as but one of the many effective weapons of American Methodism, as a natural product of a frontier environment, and as one of the most important social institutions in the trans-Allegheny West in the first half of the 19th century" -- and he has done just that very well, according to Theodore L. Agnew in his review in the Journal of Southern History, v. 21, no. 4, Nov. 1955
