  This award winning compilation of rich narrative was researched and completed by Martha Boice.  Ms. Boice is a native of Toledo, Ohio with degrees from Ohio Wesleyan University (Phi Beta Kappa) and the University of Michigan.  Dale Covington created detailed site maps with his computer and provided additional narrative.  Richard Spence drew directional maps, several illustrations and added narrative.  Other authors and artists contributed information and illustrations to provide this definitive view of the 19th Century Midwestern Shaker movement.
 
   Meticulous footnotes lead the serious researcher to deeper understanding of this Shaker phenomenon-moreover, the casual reader will be left with abiding esteem for this religious group.  More than history...it's a story.

 
 
 140 pages which includes 49 maps, 17 illustrations, 3 appendices, and index

Maps of the Shaker West was selected in 1997 as the first recipient of the Ohio Association of Historical Societies and Museums' Award of Excellence.


Your book is fabulous!...I sat down and read it immediately and wished I were closer to Ohio so I could drive out and examine all the sites.
