"The Leatherwood God"(1916),based on an actual case, is a novel about a small Ohio village in the 1820s. One day a charismatic stranger,named Joseph Dylks, turns up there. At first he claims to be sent by God, then to actually be God himself. As unlikely as it seems, about a third of the town believe him and become his followers. But there are skeptics in the village of Leatherwood. One of them Matthew Braile, justice of the peace, is content to poke fun at the ease with which this con man has won over so many in the village. But when Dylks promises a miracle and fails to deliver, some of the skeptics become violent and Dylks and his followers are driven out. In this novel Howells shows how ready some 19th century Americans were to believe almost any religious claim, however outrageous. The thoughtful reader might wonder whether we are any different today. A wise and amusing book.
