Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memorial to Eldress Anna White: And Elder Daniel Offord HE fifth child and youngest daughter of Robert and {hannah White was Anna, born January erst, 1831. Their residence, 3 pretty, white cottage, stood in a large green field at the corner of Orange and Willow streets, Brooklyn. Anna nearly lost her birthright at the very beginning of her career, her father first discovering faint signs of life in the discarded infant and coming to her rescue. A feeble, wailing crea ture, she made more trouble than all the other children. Her mother took her to the seashore in New Jersey, where she made acquaintance with old Ocean and, in the arms of the big man who had her in charge, would laugh and crow with delight as the friendly waves dashed over her. The Atlantic became her nurse, entered into her very being and saved the little one for a long and active life. When Anna was two years old, Robert White retired from business and purchased a farm on the New Jersey coast.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Shakers written by Stephen J. Paterwic and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Shakerism teaches God’s immanence through the common life shared in Christ’s mystical body.” Like many religious seekers throughout the ages, they honor the revelation of God but cannot be bound up in an unchanging set of dogmas or creeds. Freeing themselves from domination by the state religion, Mother Ann Lee and her first followers in mid-18th-century England labored to encounter the godhead directly. They were blessed by spiritual gifts that showed them a way to live the heavenly life on Earth. The result of their efforts was the fashioning of a celibate communal life called the Christlife, wherein a person, after confessing all sin, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, can travel the path of regeneration into ever- increasing holiness. Pacifism, equality of the sexes, and withdrawal from the world are some of the ways the faith was put into practice. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Shakers contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on Shaker communities, industries, individual families, and important people. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Shakers.
Download or read book Freedom s Ferment Phases of American Social History to 1860 written by Alice Felt Tyler and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its first half century the United States was visited by scores of curious European travellers who came to investigate the strange new world that was being created in the Western Hemisphere. In their accounts of the experience they praised, or condemned, the institutions and national characteristics spread out before them, seized avidly upon all differences from the European norm, and worried each peculiarity beyond recognition and beyond any just limit of its importance. Americans themselves, with the keen sensitiveness of the young and the boasting enthusiasm natural to vigorous creators of new ideas and institutions, examined the work of their hands and, believing it good, reassured themselves and answered their calumniators in a flood of aggressive replies. Every American interested in a reform movement, a new cult, or a Utopian scheme burst into print, adding another to the rapidly growing list of polemic books and pamphlets. From this variety of sources, it is possible to recapture something of the inward spirit that gave rise to the more familiar and more tangible events of America’s youth.
Download or read book Bodies of Life written by Etta Madden and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1998-04-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shakers' spiritual literacies, defined through an examination of their reading and writing practices, blur boundaries between traditionally masculine and feminine realms by using reason and emotion and by being innovative as well as traditional. This exploration of the relationship between literary practices and religious life in the 19th century, of such genres as autobiographies, elegies, histories, and doctrinal works, provides new insights into the many ways in which literacy enriches people's lives. This volume will appeal not only to the growing body of Shaker scholars, but also to researchers interested in American literature and culture, literacy, religious history, and gender studies.
