Summary:

"Of the more than one hundred experiments in communitarian living that proliferated in America during the nineteenth century, the Untied Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, whose adherents are best known as "Shakers, " is certainly one of the most interesting, successful, and enduring. This book is a collection of furniture made by members of this remarkable American religious sect."--Amazon.com
