Gleanings from Old Shaker Journals, 1916

1916. From a historical standpoint, the Shaker Village at Harvard, Massachusetts, holds a unique position among the Shaker communities, having been the headquarters of Mother Ann Lee during that period in which she spread her gospel through the Eastern States at the end of the 18th century. All that happened there at that time and in the years that followed, especially up to 1853 and thereabouts, is of great psychological interest, as well as forming a chapter in our New England history that should not be allowed to fade into the past unrecorded.
