MS47 Robert J. Leach Papers, Why Nantucket Quakers?

Robert J. Leach, a Quaker and historian, read thoroughly the source materials on the New England Quakers (kept at the Moses Brown School in Providence, R.I., Brown University, and the Nantucket Historical Association). He completed parallel examination of the Nantucket Town and County records. His research developed into a lifetime project. Why Nantucket Quakers? presents the historical facts of the Quaker movement in Nantucket as if seen through the eyes of twenty-one leading Nantucket Quakers. Materials in this collection were digitized with support from Connie and Tom Cigarran.
