A procession of Friends : Quakers in America
by Daisy Newman
On This Page
Description
Quaker author of fiction and non-fiction, Daisy Newman writes of the role Quakers have had in befriending Indians, opposing slavery, providing humane treatment for prisoners and the mentally ill, and opposing war and capital punishment. This is history in its most readable form, as the author's sense of detail gets beneath the facts to give the reader the sense of place and emotion in each event.Tags

What one book does one share with one's parents to convince them their son or daughter has not joined a cult? For more than one new Friend, this has been the choice.
A good, readable general history of Quakers in the United States.
1980 printing
