Dozens of beautiful photos, both vintage and contemporary, draw us
into the fascinating world of Shaker communities' accomplishments,
their progressive views, and their still-resonating impact on
American life. This book focuses specifically on two Shaker
villages, Hancock and Mount Lebanon, which were close neighbors
situated on either side of the Taconic Mountain Range bordering New
York and Massachusetts. Mount Lebanon was the vibrant voice of
Shakerism for over 160 years while Hancock lived in the shadows of
its larger sister. Explaining the beliefs that grounded these
villages, this book unfolds the Shaker legacies we live with today,
involving Shakers' spiritual beliefs, their social welfare
structures, their wide-ranging industries from seeds to herbal
medicines to furniture to fancy goods, and their building of
villages and of lives with a sense of purpose and permanency.
