Man And Mission by Paul Gaston, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In Man and Mission: E. B. Gaston and the Origins of the Fairhope Single Tax Colony, historian Paul Gaston relates his grandfather's 1864 founding of the utopian community of Fairhope, Alabama. The twenty-eight \"Fairhopers\" hoped to realize an \"equality of opportunity, the full reward of individual efforts, and the benefits of co-operation in matters of general concern,\" at a time when the economic system of the United State was ravaged by monopoly capitalism. Using family and public records, Man and Mission gives an intimate view of a vibrant moment in the history of Gilded Age America. | Man And Mission by Paul Gaston, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
