1898 — Christian Science Book with Bizarre Account of the Mormons — Faith-Healing: Christian Science and Kindred Phenomena by J. M. Buckley

This book was printed in 1898. It is mostly about Christian Scientists of the Church of Christ Scientist, but it also has what the title calls “kindred phenomena.” One of those is a short account, only a couple of pages, but it’s so bizarre that we thought we’d point it out.

Century Co.: New York, 1898. 308p.

There is a strange account in this book of a one-legged man going to Brigham Young to give him a new leg. The story is bizarre and most definitely fiction.
