By bfrisch@interport.net (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quaker Crosscurrents: Three Hundred Years of Friends in the New York Yearly Meetings (Hardcover)
This book provides a remarkable glimpse into the rich history of the Hudson River Valley and Upstate New York into Canada through the lens of the Quakers. Formerly a prominent religion in New York State ranking third at the beginning of the 19th century, New York Quakers have had a leading role in education, prison reform, women's rights, peace activism and temperance. The chapters on the 19th century are particularly rich in fascinating details while the 20th century material is a little more general.
