Excerpt from The Leatherwood God: An Account of the Appearance and Pretensions of Joseph C. Dylks, in Eastern Ohio in 1828 Eligious impostors have flourished in al R most every portion of the historic period. Nor is this remarkable, when we reflect that man, universally, is disposed to give credence to marvel ous stories, to put faith in sanctimonious pretensions, and to refer whatever he does not understand to some supernatural agency. These religious cheats have always found ready subjects to impress with their views, however visionary, and to mold into material to promote their ulterior schemes and pur poses, however absurd and wicked. Such an impostor was joseph C. Dylks, whose advent, teachings, journeyings, and unhallowed pre tensions are truthfully rehearsed in the following pages, and form one of the most interesting and curious episodes in the history of the Ohio Valley.
