Description
"The Shakers were nineteenth-century America's largest and best known communal utopian society. By 1840, nearly 6,000 celibate Brothers and Sisters lived and worked in 18 communities from Maine to Kentucky. The Shakers were famous for their unusual way of life, for the excellence and simplicity of their work, and for the dance worship that gave them their name. For more than 200 years the Shakers pursued their unique way of life, based on principles of equality and communalism. Today, only a handful are left, but the Shaker legacy will live on in the creations they left behind and in [this book], the first comprehensive, full-color book on this remarkable society." -- Book jacket.
