""Two Years' Experience Among The Shakers: Being A Description Of The Manners And Customs Of That People"" is a book written by David Rich Lamson in 1848. The book is based on Lamson's personal experiences during his two-year stay with the Shakers, a religious sect that was known for their communal living and celibacy. In the book, Lamson provides a detailed account of the Shaker way of life, including their religious beliefs, daily routines, and social customs. He also describes the architecture of their dwellings, the organization of their communities, and their methods of agriculture and industry. Lamson's observations are presented in a straightforward and objective manner, and he does not shy away from discussing some of the more controversial aspects of the Shaker lifestyle, such as their strict rules on celibacy and their belief in the second coming of Christ. Overall, ""Two Years' Experience Among The Shakers"" provides a fascinating insight into the unique culture and practices of the Shakers, and is a valuable historical document for anyone interested in the history of religion and communal living in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
