Some of this text is verbatim from Heavens on Earth by Mark Halloway, Second Edition by Dover Publications, 1966, page 216.
The source is supposed to be Britannica. Someone should check that the Halloway text is not also adopted from the old Britannica.Cokerwr 19:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This page is frightfully inaccurate
Thomas Lake Harris settled his winery and followers in Santa Rosa California in an area known today as Fountaingrove. He was run out of town by the locals after an article was published in the San Francisco Chronicle exposing him as a fraud. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sukiboo (talk • contribs) 07:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
If I read my source correctly, Harris and his New Brotherhood themselves named the area in Santa Rosa "Fountain Grove". He was there from 1875 - 1892, before giving the property to his adopted son. I also note that this page mentions that Andrew Jackson Davis(just listed as "Davis") was exposed as a fraud; is there a source for that, other than this same EB article?
