Account of the life of Jemima Wilkinson 1752-1819 the Rhode Island-born Quaker and Evangelist who claimed after a long illness to have died and been risen from the dead. Through her preaching she became known as the "Universal Friend" creating a Shaker-like sect that practiced celibacy and poverty on a massive property she named "Jerusalem." Some have argued that Wilkinson was an imposter who accrued vast wealth from her followers Howes describes her as "the first religious charlatan of her sex in America". Indeed the sect would not survive after her death. This work first published in 1821 attributed to David Hudson SABIN 33485 and HOWES H-761.
