520 |a In this first detailed examination of the breakup of upstate New York's Oneida Community, which was for more than thirty years a most successful experiment in communal living, Mrs. Robertson traces the strands of dissent and dissolution as reported in the members' own writings.

They reveal the agony of indecision and disharmony felt by members as the years and the times took their toll of Bible Communism.--From publisher description.
