- Notes:
- Publication information from McKinstry.
- "The author has endeavored while exposing to the world the dark side of the picture to give it no deeper shade than the light of truth will warrant. And although she has endured innumerable wrongs, she can say in conscious truth that her only object in giving to the world this history is that the unsuspecting may not be entrapped by the apparent virtue and rectitude of the people called Shakers."
