Button's Inn (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Button's Inn In this volume only the name and situation of the original. Button's Inn have been retained. The traditions of descent and nomenclature are partly borrowed and partly fanciful. Whether the Basse a loin at which the French explorer was commanded to land his forces was the site of Barcelona, and whether that name was derived therefrom, is not now ascertainable. The real tragedy of Button's Inn was quite unlike the one herein attributed to it, and the ghost which it was said once haunted its ruins is no doubt quite as imaginary a creature as the one I have chosen to delineate. The good people to whom the supersedure of the ancient highway brought misfortune were not in any way connected with the establishment of the new religion, so far as I know, but the life of this region in which the story is located, during the later years of the Inn, was precisely that from which Mormonism sprang. Two of its early leaders - one an Apostle - went from this county. Tradition imputes to one of them suspicion of a mysterious crime.
