Download or read book Anti Slavery and the Underground Railroad in Fairfield Iowa written by Rory Goff and published by Merrymeeting Archives. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruit of over ten years of deep research, this book reveals that by 1856, Fairfield was on the "direct line" as a prominent hub of Iowa's Underground Railroad. New evidence suggests that right from Fairfield's founding in 1839, some heroic Fairfielders were risking everything to illegally help Blacks flee captivity from the slave state of Missouri only 30 miles south. The book documents the tumultuous years before the Civil War to show how this farming community gradually evolved from a "hands-off" attitude toward Southern slavery, and awoke to its moral need to value human rights over profits. Original research into genealogies, censuses, deeds, maps, old newspapers, and biographies uncovers the long-hidden ties between the anti-slavery people and places of Fairfield, Jefferson County, and southeast Iowa, and places them in the context of the nations's quarter-century of growth in anti-slavery sentiment.

Download or read book Greetings from Utopia Park written by Claire Hoffman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engrossing, provocative, and intimate memoir, a young journalist reflects on her childhood in the heartland, growing up in an increasingly isolated meditation community in the 1980s and ’90s—a fascinating, disturbing look at a fringe culture and its true believers. When Claire Hoffman’s alcoholic father abandons his family, his desperate wife, Liz, tells five-year-old Claire and her seven-year-old brother, Stacey, that they are going to heaven—Iowa—to live in Maharishi’s national headquarters for Heaven on Earth. For Claire’s mother, Transcendental Meditation—the Maharishi’s method of meditation and his approach to living the fullest possible life—was a salvo that promised world peace and enlightenment just as their family fell apart. At first this secluded utopia offers warmth and support, and makes these outsiders feel calm, secure, and connected to the world. At the Maharishi School, Claire learns Maharishi’s philosophy for living and meditates with her class. With the promise of peace and enlightenment constantly on the horizon, every day is infused with magic and meaning. But as Claire and Stacey mature, their adolescent skepticism kicks in, drawing them away from the community and into delinquency and drugs. To save herself, Claire moves to California with her father and breaks from Maharishi completely. After a decade of working in journalism and academia, the challenges of adulthood propel her back to Iowa, where she reexamines her spiritual upbringing and tries to reconnect with the magic of her childhood. Greetings from Utopia Park takes us deep into this complex, unusual world, illuminating its joys and comforts, and its disturbing problems. While there is no utopia on earth, Hoffman reveals, there are noble goals worth striving for: believing in belief, inner peace, and a firm understanding that there is a larger fabric of the universe to which we all belong.

Download or read book Transcendental Meditation in America written by Joseph Weber and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stores selling exotic goods popped up, TM followers built odd-looking homes that modeled the guru's rules for peace-inspiring architecture, and the new university knocked down a historic chapel, even as it erected massive golden-domed buildings for meditators. Some newcomers got elected--and others were defeated--when they ran for local and statewide offices. At times, thousands from across the globe visited the small town. Yet Transcendental Meditation did not always achieve its aims of personal and social tranquility. Suicides and a murder unsettled the meditating community over the years, and some followers were fleeced by con men from their own ranks. Some battled a local farmer over land use and one another over doctrine. Notably, the world has not gotten more peaceful. Today the guru is dead. His followers are graying, and few of their children are moving into leadership roles.
