About this title

Synopsis

Book by Murray, Stuart

Reviews

In 1776, Shaker leader Mother Ann Lee immigrated to New York and established the first Shaker community at Watervliet. Before the Civil War, 6000 Shakers populated communities around the United States. Murray ( Norman Rockwell's "Four Freedoms , " among others) has written a guidebook to the 25 past and present Shaker communities. Noted for their life tenant of celibacy and the motto "live in the world but not of the world," Shakers have captured modern-day interest in their architecture, furniture, crafts, music, cooking, and arts. The book begins with a description of Sabbathday Lake, Maine, home of the eight remaining Shakers. Each chapter contains the history of a site, tourist information including notable places to visit that have information on that particular Shaker community, old and recent photographs and illustrations, and maps. This book is a solid addition to travel, history, and religion collections. --Janine Reid, Jefferson Cty. P.L., Lakewood, Col.
