“Rememb’ring Our Time and Work is the Lords”: The Experiences of Quakers on the Eighteenth-Century Pennsylvania Frontier

Synopsis

The religious group most prominent in establishing the province of Pennsylvania, was the Society of Friend, or Quakers, Guenther (history, Manfield U. of Pennsylvania) reminds readers, but with increasing pluralism, its impact and importance declined. Focusing on the activities of the Exeter Monthly Meeting of Friends, based in Berks County, during the 18th century, she examines how changes in the world around them affected backcountry Quakers.
