Review :
"Moral Geography" does a great service by introducing those who felt the tension between new and old orders.--Kathleen Flake"Journal of Religion" (01/01/0001)
"Moral Geography" provides a much better guidebook to the region and its religion, and DeRogatis never lets us get lost, taking us along a scholarly path that seems both familiar and fresh at the same time.--Gregory Nobles "Journal of American History "
...the brief narrative here does little justice to the nuanced deconstruction of maps, letters, biography, and travel literature that comprises the heart of DeRogatis's work. From close readings of these texts she has skillfully teased out a language in her sources...--William H. Bergmann, University of Cincinnati "Ohio History "
Amy DeRogatis' sketch of moral geography on the American frontier has opened up a rich and fertile vein of scholarship.--David N. Livingstone"Books & Culture" (01/01/0001)
Innovative new study of the religious settlement of Connecticut's "Western Reserve..".. A model of interdisciplinary scholarship, and her new study will enjoy wide readership.--Douglas L. Winiarski"Religious Studies Review" (01/01/0001)
Interesting and innovative... Most readers of "Moral Geography" will appreciate DeRogatis's attempt to 'read' material sources in seeking to understand the landscape of the Western Reserve.--Lydia Huffman Hoyle "Regster of the Kentucky Historical Society "

" "Moral Geography" seeks to offer a new dimension of interpretation by shifting the focus on the frontier from personal conversion through revivalism to the role of missionaries in trying to shape the social and moral values of an entire region of a young nation... Recommended." -- "Choice"
