But behind the family's proud piety and beautiful old-timey music lay Pilgrim's dark past: his strange connection to the Kennedy assassination and a trail of chaos and anguish that followed him from Dallas and New Mexico.

As I walk'd through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a Denn; And I laid me down in that place to sleep; And as I slept I dreamed a Dream. I dreamed, and behold I saw a Man cloathed with Raggs, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own House, a Book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. - John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress, 1678 | |

(Prologue: Third Month) When the song of the snowmachine had faded down the valley, the sisters got ready to go. A pair of old trucks crept down the street, pushing deep tracks through the snow. | |
