Summary "Sinners and Saints" by Phil Robinson is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This account takes readers on a journey across the United States, particularly focusing on the experiences and observations of the author as he navigates through the emerging society of the Mormons and the American frontier. Through his narrative, Robinson explores various themes such as culture, society, and the development of towns, as he reflects on both the virtues and vices of the people he encounters. At the start of the book, Robinson embarks on a train journey across America, beginning in New York and heading towards Chicago. Through his keen observations, he describes the scenery outside the train, including the peculiarities of American life and the character of various towns along the route. The author interacts with fellow passengers, reflects on the agricultural landscape, and muses about the stark contrast between the natural beauty and the burgeoning civilization. His humorous and insightful commentary sets the tone for a travelogue that promises to blend personal anecdotes with sociocultural critiques as he continues his exploration across the states.
