Included are pieces from New Lebanon and Watervliet New York; Enfield and Canterbury New Hampshire; Harvard Hancock and Tyringham Massachusetts; Union Village Ohio; and Pleasant Hill Kentucky. Two articles by Mr. and Mrs. Andrews and one by Alan Gowans present fascinating discussions of Shaker origins their communal villages their deep religious faith and the consecration of their personal lives which is so apparent in their workmanship."--jacket Indiana University Press unknown books
