The Roots of Pendle Hill

by Carol R. Murphy

Overview

This is essentially the first three chapters of a history of Pendle Hill up to 1950, written at the urging of Anna Brinton while the author was in residence. Pendle Hill was the first place to which Carol Murphy turned to nurture her renewed religious faith, and it was there that her writing ability found recognition. She drew on the Pendle Hill files and on the helpful advice and recollections of Joseph Platt, Douglas Steere, Justice Williams, Howard and Anna Brinton, John Forbes, Anna Broomell and various staff members then at Pendle Hill.
