Thousands came by trains and carriages to see this new Eden, carved from hundreds of acres of wild woodland. They marveled at orchards bursting with fruit, thick herds of Ayrshire cattle and Cotswold sheep, and whizzing mills. They gaped at the people who lived in this place -- especially the women, with their queer cropped hair and shamelessly short skirts. The men and women of this strange outpost worked and slept together -- without sin, they claimed. From 1848 to 1881, a small utopian colony in upstate New York -- the Oneida Community -- was known for its shocking sexual practices, from open marriage and free love to the sexual training of young boys by older women. And in 1881, a one-time member of the Oneida Community -- Charles Julius Guiteau -- assassinated President James Garfield in a brutal crime that shook America to its core. An Assassin in Utopia is the first book that weaves together these explosive stories in a tale of utopian experiments, political machinations, and murder. Against a vivid backdrop of ambition, hucksterism, epidemics, and spectacle, the book's interwoven stories fuse together in the climactic murder of President Garfield in 1881 -- at the same time as the Oneida Community collapsed."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 307.77097 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 307.77097 Wels Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 307.77097 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 307.77097 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 307.77097 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 307.77097 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList
