Elias Power, Of Ease-In-Zion is a book written by John M. Bamford and published in 1884. The book tells the story of Elias Power, a man who moves to Zion, a utopian community in the American West, in search of a better life. Power is initially drawn to the community's ideals of equality, communal living, and self-sufficiency, but soon discovers that life in Zion is not as idyllic as he had hoped. As Power becomes more involved in the community, he begins to see the flaws in the system and the ways in which it is controlled by a small group of leaders. He also struggles with his own desires for individuality and personal success, which conflict with the community's emphasis on collective values. Throughout the book, Power grapples with questions of identity, community, and the balance between individual freedom and social responsibility. The novel offers a critique of utopian societies and explores the challenges of creating a truly egalitarian and just community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
