Title
Gifts of Power: The Writings of Rebecca Jackson, Black Visionary, Shaker Eldress
Description
After the death of Rebecca Cox Jackson, a Shaker eldress, her incomplete narrative and other writings were assembled by Alonzo G. Hollister, a Shaker leader. Hollister interviewed surviving Philadelphia "family" members, took biographical notes, and compared the two existing versions of Jackson's autobiographical manuscript, but did not succeed in producing a complete, edited manuscript. Nearly a hundred years later, in 1980 Jackson's writings were rediscovered and published in 1981. Edited by Jean McMahon Humez.
