For over a century, dark visions of moral collapse and social disintegration in American cities spurred an anxious middle class to search for ways to restore order.

He integrates the ideologies of urban crusades with an examination of the careers and the mentalities of a group of vigorous activists, including Lyman Beecher; the pioneers of the tract societies and Sunday schools; Charles Loring Brace of the Children's Aid Society;.
