Abstract

Visiting the Shakers, 1850-1899 : Watervliet, Hancock, Tyringham, New Lebanon is a compilation of eighty-five accounts written by visitors to four Shaker villages. The book is a companion volume to Glendyne R. Wergland's earlier work published by the Couper Press in 2007, which covered 1788-1849. Together, these two volumes will have enduring value for historians of the Shakers and American culture in general.
