Memorial to the Honorable Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War of the United States


Book Description

This unsigned manuscript presents to the secretary of war the reasons why Shakers should be excluded from military service. One of the reasons given is that the U.S. Treasury holds pensions payable to members of the Shakers but which they will never claim. While claiming a life apart from the world, "as loyal subjects of the Government of the United States, for its preservation and prosperity your Petitioners will ever Pray."
