Elias Hicks, a Long Island farmer and travelling minister, was revered by friends as nearly a saint and condemned by opponents as a dangerous heretic. Drawing on his journals and letters, Wilbur follows his preaching journeys, his stand against slavery and the controversy over his doctrine that ended in the great separation among American Quakers in 1827.
