The Quakers: A Brief Account of Their Influence on Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania History Studies, No.2)

iii, 63 pp. "The intimate relationship between Quakers and Pennsylvania, over a period of almost three centuries, is told authoritatively and succinctly in this publication. Throughout Pennsylvania's history as an English colony and an American state, members of the Society of Friends, known as Quakers, have played an important role. During the colonial period, 1681-1776, the Quaker influence was particularly significant. Although almost from the beginning the Quakers were a minority group in Pennsylvania, they impressed their stamp so indelibly that the Commonwealth is still known as the Quaker State."
