 Point Books, Radnor Memorial Library and Radnor Historical Society

fall during the American Revolution.

Room at Radnor Memorial Library. Reservations are requested; walk-ins 
are welcome as space permits. Free parking is available in the lot and 
on the street. The book is for sale at registration and at the event.
About the Book
Discover the history of Philadelphia's Quakers as they rose to power and prosperity and fell into peril.
Fleeing
 political upheavals in England for settlement in the New World, Quakers
 rose to unprecedented economic and political power in the Pennsylvania 
colony. However, the failure of the Quaker-dominated government to 
provide for defense in the wars from the 1730s into the 1760s was the 
beginning of their downfall. By the Revolution, their fortunes had 
waned, and they were brutally suppressed by their political foes. 
Seventeen influential Friends and three others were exiled to Virginia 
without so much as a hearing, and Quaker farms and businesses were 
subject to depredations. Labeled dissenters by Loyalist and Patriot 
alike, they stood their ground, alone and isolated.
Through the 
words of those who were there, author and historian Jeff Denman vividly 
describes the precipitous rise of the Philadelphia Quakers and their 
fall during the American Revolution.
