Oneida Community Profiles

ix, 146 pp. By a relative of the founder of the Oneida Community, John Humphrey Noyes. "...tells another, more private story and provides an intimate view of the early years, based on personal letters, never intended for publication, that Mrs. Robertson discovered recently. There is new material on the branch communes--Manlius and Brooklyn, New York; Wallingford, Connecticut; Fletcher and Newark, New Jersey; back to Putney and Cambridge, Vermont--and the Worden family, whose letters reveal what agonies of indecision were involved in becoming Oneida Community members. More than a dozen rare illustrations are included."
