The Tears of God

Author’s Note

The entries in Nate King’s journal having to do with Second Eden is the only known account of the fate of Elder Arthur Lexington and his splinter group of Shakers.

Some historians have questioned its authenticity. No Valley of Skulls has ever been found, the Indian legends notwithstanding.

But the Yellowstone region is famed for its many geysers and hot springs, and geologists say the area is highly unstable. Volcanic gases have been well documented. As has the fact that volcanic gases can be highly toxic.

So is Nate King’s account true?

The author leaves it to the reader to decide.
