Description: The author develops two perspectives on late 18th Shakerism. One is by a noted historian and apologist for the sect. The other is by a young man who joined the Shakers with the hope that they with their "cross against the flesh"  could him cure his addiction to the pleasures of women's flesh. Often, the two perspectives conflict, leaving the reader to decide which perspective is true or at least more correct.
