The Making of Matthias is a historical non-fiction book written by Joseph Smith Fletcher in 1897. The book tells the story of a notorious cult leader named Matthias and his followers, who lived in New York City in the early 19th century. Matthias claimed to be a prophet and convinced his followers to give him their money and possessions, leading to a series of crimes and scandals. Fletcher's book explores the life of Matthias, his rise to power, and the events that led to his downfall. The author also provides a detailed analysis of the social and cultural context of the time, including the religious fervor and social unrest that contributed to the rise of cults like Matthias'. The Making of Matthias is a gripping and informative account of a fascinating chapter in American history, and remains a classic work of true crime literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
