| Summary: | The Shakers -- officially known as The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing -- were, at their peak, a small but thriving Christian sect that lived in private, rural communities throughout the eastern United States. Only a handful of practicing Shakers remain, making it more important than ever to document their rich past and continuing influence.

His concise text and impressive photography, which features Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, compose a volume. |
