An Amazing Mystery on the American Frontier

In 1852, a puzzling coin turns up in a farmer's field near Burlington, Iowa. Seeking clues to its origin, amateur scientist Dr. Obadiah Gray and his two stalwart companions stumble onto an even more unbelievable discovery: a document purportedly written in 56 B.C. by a castaway Roman centurion!

Is the centurion's testament an earth-shattering revelation that will rewrite history, or just a clever hoax? Why do the Mormons seem so interested? Strangers appear in town, determined to wrest the document from its discoverers or destroy it! Can Gray and his friends solve the mystery of the centurion's testament before it's too late?
