One of the best monographs I read for my U.S. History series in college was The Kingdom of Matthias: A Story of Sex and Salvation in 19th-Century America by Paul E. Johnson and Sean Wilentz. It primarily deals with a religious con artist who was active during the Second Great Awakening. It is actually really entertaining, and deals with a period of history on which the writing tends to be overly spiritual or bland.
