Yet Cora Helena Sarle had a talent for art, and the spiritual leader of the community, Elder Henry Clay Blinn, suggested that she use her gift for the good of the communal family. Thus she began her task of recording all the wild plants, herbs and flowers around the village. This lovely facsimile captures the life and times not only of Cora Helena Sarle but of Canterbury Shaker Village in the 1880?s. Essays by a noted Shaker expert June Sprigg and Village president Scott T. Swank illuminate the patterns of daily living in the nineteenth century community.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st. edition with minor cover wear reducing it to VG. Now in protected dust jacket.* 1997-04-01. n.
