Shaker communal life in South Union

Julia Neal’s account examines the Shaker community at South Union, Kentucky, through its beliefs and everyday way of life. The description highlights a community that maintained quiet, conservative standards in dress and living quarters while welcoming modern inventions when they could make work for God easier and better. That contrast offers a focused entry point into the religious and social history of this Shaker settlement. Originally published in 1947, the book is presented here in an unaltered paperback edition.
