Excerpt from My Friends at Brook Farm The settlers built their houses on the Indian trail leading Westward to which they gave the name of Beaver street their grand boulevard which must have been two or three squares long. Beaver Street was the main highway of the Wal loon Nation and was the center of the Old Colonie as the Dutch neighborhood was subsequently called. Under English rule, the Old Colonie or Beaverwick was merged with Fort Orange and Rensselaer wick, these, collectively, being named Al bany in honor of the Duke of York, Al bany being one of his titles.

"Early Letters of George Wm. Curtis to John S. Dwight; Brook Farm and Concord" by George William Curtis George William Curtis was an American writer and public speaker born in Providence, Rhode Island. An early Republican, he spoke in favor of African-American equality and civil rights both before and after the Civil War. His letters to Dwight, a transcendentalist, America's first influential classical music critic, show that, while politics might have been his forte, Dwight was able to discuss multiple matters of culture. Complete with a concise biography of the author, this book brings a lesser-known historic figure in America to light.

This book explores the intersections between nineteenth-century social reform movements in the United States. Delving into the little-known history of women who joined income-sharing communities during the 1840s, this book uses four community case studies to examine social activism within communal environments. In a period when women faced legal and social restrictions ranging from coverture to slavery, the emergence of residential communities designed by French utopian writer, Charles Fourier, introduced spaces where female leadership and social organization became possible. Communitarian women helped shape the ideological underpinnings of some of the United States’ most enduring and successful reform efforts, including the women’s rights movement, the abolition movement, and the creation of the Republican Party. Dr. Hart argues that these movements were intertwined, with activists influencing multiple organizations within unexpected settings.
