The Quaker Colony is a historical novel written by Blanche McManus and published in 1899. The book is set in the 17th century and tells the story of a group of Quakers who establish a colony in the New World. The main character is a young woman named Faith Carew, who travels to the colony with her family. The Quakers face many challenges as they try to establish their community, including conflicts with the Native Americans and the colonial government. Faith struggles to reconcile her faith with the realities of life in the colony, and she becomes involved in a love triangle with two men who have very different views on the Quaker way of life. The novel explores themes of religious freedom, tolerance, and the challenges of building a new society in a hostile environment. It also offers a glimpse into the lives of early Quakers and their beliefs and practices. Overall, The Quaker Colony is a compelling historical novel that offers a fascinating look at a little-known chapter in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
