Book Description
Excerpt from An Unitarian Oberlin, or the Story of Jasper L. Douthit The materials for this story of a singularly brave and useful man are mostly gathered from a variety of brief personal sketches and reports of missionary work which are found scattered through Unitarian papers, magazines, and other publica tions for the last quarter of a century, and there fore must be more or less familiar to many minds. I have thought it might serve a good purpose to cull from these numerous accounts What might best illustrate his life and character, and present it in this simple and connected form. If the record, as thus given, shall have the efiect, in any measure, to strengthen the hands, of the friend and brother Who is still battling for truth and right eousness, or to encourage others to live nobly and Victoriously, even under most adverse circum stances, my object and Wish in writing these pages will not have been in vain.

Book Description
A dramatic retelling of the story of the Transcendentalists, revealing them not as isolated authors but as a community of social activists who shaped progressive American values. Conflagration illuminates the connections between key members of the Transcendentalist circle—including James Freeman Clarke, Elizabeth Peabody, Caroline Healey Dall, Elizabeth Stanton, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Theodore Parker, and Margaret Fuller—who created a community dedicated to radical social activism. These authors and activists laid the groundwork for democratic and progressive religion in America. In the tumultuous decades before and immediately after the Civil War, the Transcendentalists changed nineteenth-century America, leading what Theodore Parker called “a Second American Revolution.” They instigated lasting change in American society, not only through their literary achievements but also through their activism: transcendentalists fought for the abolition of slavery, democratically governed churches, equal rights for women, and against the dehumanizing effects of brutal economic competition and growing social inequality. The Transcendentalists’ passion for social equality stemmed from their belief in spiritual friendship—transcending differences in social situation, gender, class, theology, and race. Together, their fight for justice changed the American sociopolitical landscape. They understood that none of us can ever fulfill our own moral and spiritual potential unless we care about the full spiritual and moral flourishing of others.
