The Shaker Daybook

by David Larkin (Editor), June Sprigg (Editor)

Those familiar with the Shakers will probably already know how important daybooks and journals were in the daily life of the United Society of Believers, America's longest lived and most influential communal utopian society. The Shakers wrote these volumes for themselves, as a reference for events in the life of each communal family. Shaker diarists differed from their worldly counterparts in a significant way as their journals were not intended to be private.
In this daybook, space is given for the bookowner to record their own daily life. Shaker journal entries from the past dot the pages this daybook along with photographs from Shaker Villages showing the enduring works made by Shaker hands.
