Born into one of the wealthiest families in Philadelphia and raised
and educated in that vital center of eighteenth-century American
Quakerism, Anne Emlen Mifflin was a progressive force in early
America. This detailed and engaging biography, which features
Anne's collected writings and selected correspondence, revives her
legacy. Anne grew up directly across the street from the
Pennsylvania statehouse, where the Continental Congress was leading
the War of Independence. A Quaker minister whose busy pen, agile
mind, and untiring moral energy produced an extensive corpus of
writings, Anne was an ardent abolitionist and social reformer
decades before the establishment of women's anti-slavery societies.
And at a time when most Americans never ventured beyond their own
village, hamlet, or farm, Anne journeyed thousands of miles. She
traveled to settlements of Friends on the frontier and met with
Native Americans in the rough country of northwestern Pennsylvania,
New York, and Canada. Our Beloved Friend provides a unique window
onto the lives of Quakers during the pre-Revolutionary era, the
establishment of the New Republic, and the War of 1812.
