Summary: "Quaker Hill" by Warren H. Wilson is a sociological study written in the early 20th century. This work examines the development of the Quaker community in Quaker Hill, New York, from its founding in 1728 through various periods of social transition, providing insights into the lives, beliefs, and economic activities of its inhabitants. The study addresses themes of community integrity, social forces, and the challenges faced over time, particularly focusing on the ideals of Quakerism and their impact on local life. The opening of the book sets the stage by explaining the author's personal connection to Quaker Hill and his motivations for studying this unique community. He reflects on the social life of the area, the phenomena of disillusionment felt by its residents, and the disconnection felt by the younger generations as they pursue opportunities elsewhere. Wilson seeks to analyze the various factors that contributed to the Quaker community's character and eventual evolution—the stability afforded by their shared religious beliefs, the economic changes after the arrival of the railroad, and how these elements influenced their social interactions and the eventual assimilation of outsiders into their community.
