Description

Reprint of a Shaker manuscript recently acquired by the Hamilton College Library probably dating to 1821 or shortly thereafter. It bears a caption title: "Mother’s Last Visit to Watervliet” and consists of nine unnumbered pages (filled) within a twenty-four page booklet. It is an important and early work, and was never published by the Shakers. It details the activities, meetings, counsels, and sayings of Mother Lucy Wright during the month preceding her death—from January 10, 1821 when she arrived at the Watervliet, New York Shaker society, to February 7, 1821 "when she expired a quarter before three O’clock.”
