The Quakers: A Brief Account of Their Influence on Pennsylvania

William Wistar Comfort

4.9/5 (24735 ratings)

Description: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. This publication, originally issued in 1948 and long out of print, now appears in revised form. The author, the late Dr. W. W. Comfort, died in 1955, but the text has been brought up to date through the assistance of Dr. Frederick B. Tolles, Director of the Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College. Pictures have been added, including the cover photograph in color of William Penn’s country seat Pennsbury on the Delaware.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
