The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing,
commonly known as the Shakers, followed Mother Ann Lee to the
United States in 1774 when life in England became difficult. In the
United States, they established several colonies whose governing
principals included celibacy and agrarian communal living. Even at
its peak, however, Shakerism claimed only about 4,500 members.
Today, except for one active community in Sabbathday, Maine, the
great Shaker villages are diminished, but the Shakers left an
enduring impact on the religion and culture of the United States.
The A to Z of the Shakers relates the history of this fascinating
group through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography,
and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on Shaker
communities, industries, individual families, and important people.
Every definition, biography, and point of history was submitted to
the Shakers at Sabbathday Lake for their review before it was
included for publication. As such, the voice of the contemporary
Shakers is found in the dictionary, and they have given it their
unequivocal endorsement.
