About this product
Product Information
The fascinating history of Zoar, from the German Separatists who settled there to the present-day historical village In 1817, a group of German religious dissenters immigrated to Ohio. Less than two years later, in order to keep their distinctive religion and its adherents together, they formed a communal society (eine güter gemeinschaft or "community of goods"), where all shared equally. Their bold experiment thrived and continued through three generations; the Zoar Separatists are considered one of the longest-lasting communal groups in US history. Fernandez traces the Separatists' beginnings in Württemberg, Germany, and their disputes with authorities over religious differences, their immigration to America, and their establishment of the communal Society of Separatists of Zoar. The community's development, particularly in terms of its business activities with the outside world, demonstrates its success and influence in the 19th century. Though the Society dissolved in 1898, today its site is a significant historical attraction. Zoar is based on ample primary source material, some never before utilized by historians, and illustrated with thirty historic photographs.

Reviews
"Fernandez excels in her story-telling and historical acumen as she unveils the richness and complexity of a religiously-based communitarian society struggling with various hardships and being a bulwark against forces that would divide them." --Ohio History Journal "In 1819, in the wilderness of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, a group of German pietists created one of the longest-lived communal socie es in the 19th-century US. The Society of Separatists, as they called themselves, were refugees from the Kingdom of Wür emberg who felt called to separate themselves from the kingdom's state-sponsored Lutheran churches. Instead, they put forward their own faith, deeply mys cal, pacifist, and egalitarian. Facing persecution and aided by English and Philadelphia Quakers, they traveled to the US and gave their Ohio settlement the biblical name Zoar. Although communal and bound by a strict internal discipline, the Society of Separtists of Zoar was hardly separated from the larger world. Fernandez shows how they embraced the commerce that the building of the Ohio and Erie Canal through their lands brought and, by the 1850s, had turned their community into a tourist attraction. As older Zoarites died, the initial pietist fervor declined, and the group disbanded and divided its property among members in 1898. Zoar is now a state historical site. Fernandez was its manager for 15 years, and she has produced what will surely be the definitive account of Zoar." --Choice, "In 1819, in the wilderness of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, a group of German pietists created one of the longest-lived communal socie es in the 19th-century US.
