As a guy who grew up in Oneida, NY this was an interesting read on the history of the Oneida Community and John Noyes the founder. Some weird stuff. The Oneida Community was founded as a commune and religious cult in the 1800's. Strange ideas about sex and community and family.
A well-researched and well-written comprehensive history of the Oneida Community, famous for its members' practice of "complex marriage" and "Bible Communism."
