Editorial Reviews

Review

“As a history and ethnography of the Shaker movement, I predict that Barnett’s book will stand as a classic for years to come.”—E. Z. Vogt, American Sociological Review



“The work is superb from the thorough description of Shaker doctrine and ritual to the minute dissection of traits and the proper allotment of their historic source, insofar as this is possible.”—F. W. Voget, American Anthropologist



“A fascinating story . . . of a cult com­pounded of native religion and Christian­ity, to this day possessing churches throughout the Northwest.”—Nat Honig, Long Beach Independent-Press-Telegram

This review is from: Indian Shakers: A Messianic Cult of the Pacific Northwest (Arcturus books edition) (Paperback)
This is the best book on the Indian Shaker Church around. The writings on the church subsequent to the publishing of this book often cite to this book as an original source material. Wish someone would publish this book again. At this point, you have to search to find it but it is definitely worth the time and money.
