Quaker Nantucket: The Religious Community Behind the Whaling Empire

Rating:
Summary: An informative book written in a pleasing way
Review: I am an avid reader of historical texts. I am very interested in the history of America and am always hungry for more knowledge. I recently took up in interest in discovering more about the Quakers. I had almost given up after reading the endless selection of rather boring texts, leaving me either sleeping or wanting to. Then, I found Quaker Nantucket. From this book, I have learned volumes of information, and had a good time doing it. This book is interesting, and begins every chapter with an exciting section of the ongoing saga. I enjoyed myself, and hope to have the chance to congratulate Mr. Gow and Mr. Leach myself.

Summary: You never thought a book could be so informative, yet fun.
Review: This is an amazing book. The author takes you into the life or Quakerism. You learn how it all began with George Fox, and how in ended. Also, you learn about how the whaling industry affected Quakers on the island on Nantucket. This is a must read.
