Description
Excerpt from Shakers of Ohio: Fugitive Papers Concerning the Shakers of Ohio, With Unpublished Manuscripts
The publication of the collected papers on Shakerism in Ohio, contained in this volume, is due partly to the assistance of The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, in the volumes of which some of the papers previously appeared. The Society not only willingly consented to the reprinting of these papers but also contributed to the expense of the same in recognition of the past services of the author to the Society. The author is also indebted in large measure to the enterprise of Mr. Fred J. Heer, one of the leading publishers in Ohio. The sug gestion of this publication came from him. The author has no financial or other interest in the issuing of this volume. Save only for the success of this undertaking and the hope that the in formation herein contained may add to the preservation of Ohio history and the correct understanding of the sect thus described.
The articles were written, the one independent of the other, just as the matter fell into the author''s hands or the subject favor ably impressed him. In all things he has tried to be just, and in no sense wrote with the idea of trying to please. It is a matter of pride, here to record, that his efforts for the most part, have met with the approval of the Shakers. Elder Daniel Offord, of the North Family. Mt. Lebanon, New York, stated, that of all who had written about the Shakers, the author had been the fairest, and the only one who had a thorough knowledge of the subject. Acoming from such a source, it can but make these pages of value. To this might be added the fact that the writer has been made a member of four different communities.
