  • Release : 2008
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 200 pages

Download or read book Shakers of Indiana written by Cheryl Bauer and published by Little Miami Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian's little-known Shaker community is brought to life in the letters and diaries of Shakers of Indiana: A West Union Reader. Editor Cheryl Bauer has assembled a collection of rare Shaker documents as well as accounts by William Henry Harrison and other early nineteenth century visitors to the village that began in Knox County in 1808 and closed in 1826. Two hundred years after its founding, West Union retains two historic distinctions: it was the westernmost major Shaker village in the country and the Shaker community most directly affected by the War of 1812. West Union's complicated relationship with Native Americas and its position on the edge of the frontier forced the Shakers to Indiana during the early part of the war. They returned later to rebuild their community and even expand into Illinois, where they operated milling business for a few years. Written accounts by the Shakers and their contemporaries recreate the hardships and satisfactions of life on the Indiana prairie.

Book The Shaker Communities of Kentucky

Download or read book The Shaker Communities of Kentucky written by James W. Hooper and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shaker Communities of Kentucky: Pleasant Hill and South Union presents the lives, struggles, and achievements of a remarkable people. The chronicle spans Shaker beginnings in England and relocation to America, the Great Awakening in America followed by the Kentucky Revival, Shaker beginnings in Kentucky, and the establishment of the South Union and Pleasant Hill Shaker villages. The Shaker central ministry sent missionaries to Kentucky from New York in 1805 after hearing about the Kentucky Revival, which culminated with the Cane Ridge Revival of 1801. Their efforts resulted in the establishment of villages in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Pleasant Hill and South Union were among the most successful and enduring of all the Shaker villages. This volume provides a striking visual portrayal of Shaker life by means of rare vintage images, including beliefs and worship, relationships with other believers and the world, and their highly regarded workmanship. Gradual decline resulted in the closing of both villages, but restorations have turned both sites into popular destinations.

Book The South Union  Kentucky  Shakers and Tradition

Download or read book The South Union Kentucky Shakers and Tradition written by John Brenton Wolford and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 948 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understudied and often misrepresented in Shaker literature, at the outskirts of the Shaker federation, yet leaving a rich corpus of manuscript material, the South Union Shakers provide a stellar opportunity to examine tradition in its dynamic mode across perceived, or constructed, group boundaries. The examination of the labor, business, and commercial aspects of South Union industrial enterprises reveals a common traditional basis between Shaker processes and products and those of their regional neighbors, reflecting not a "Shaker" style of business but a regional one. A significant underlying component of the regional continuity lies in the emphasis the Shakers placed on consanguineal bonding, for the family traditions the Kentucky converts brought into the South Union community profoundly affected the character and actual shape of the South Union community. An extensive and intensive examination of the South Union flatboat peddling trips serves as a core chapter exemplifying their regional affiliations. Ultimately, the South Union example, founded in their business and labor activities, is revealed to be a creative manipulation of regional traditions as processed primarily through consanguineal lines.

Book The A to Z of the Shakers

Download or read book The A to Z of the Shakers written by Stephen J. Paterwic and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, commonly known as the Shakers, followed Mother Ann Lee to the United States in 1774 when life in England became difficult. In the United States, they established several colonies whose governing principals included celibacy and agrarian communal living. Even at its peak, however, Shakerism claimed only about 4,500 members. Today, except for one active community in Sabbathday, Maine, the great Shaker villages are diminished, but the Shakers left an enduring impact on the religion and culture of the United States. The A to Z of the Shakers relates the history of this fascinating group through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on Shaker communities, industries, individual families, and important people. Every definition, biography, and point of history was submitted to the Shakers at Sabbathday Lake for their review before it was included for publication. As such, the voice of the contemporary Shakers is found in the dictionary, and they have given it their unequivocal endorsement.
