A Yankee Saint: John Humphrey Noyes And The Oneida Community is a biography written by Robert Allerton Parker. The book tells the story of John Humphrey Noyes, the founder of the Oneida Community, a religious commune that existed in upstate New York in the mid-19th century. Noyes was a controversial figure who believed in communal living, complex marriage, and a form of Christianity that emphasized perfectionism and the elimination of sin. The Oneida Community was known for its innovative practices, including the development of a successful silverware manufacturing business, and for its scandalous reputation, due to its unconventional sexual practices. The book explores Noyes' life and ideas, as well as the history of the Oneida Community, and provides a detailed account of the group's rise and eventual decline. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including Noyes' own writings, letters, and diaries, as well as contemporary accounts and historical documents. A Yankee Saint offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a visionary leader and the community he founded, and sheds light on a little-known chapter in American religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
