John Woolman

Quintessential Quaker

BY DAVID SOX
This book offers mystic and activist John Woolman to a new generation of readers. By placing him into the historical context of 18th-century America his extraordinary life shines forth even more clearly. Samuel Taylor Coleridge despaired of the man "who could peruse the life of John Woolman without an amelioration of heart."
