Evans, F. W. (Frederick William), 1808-1893. Cares & burthens, blunders & failures, projected improvements, errors in business, cases of sickness. 1861-1892.

Title: Cares & burthens, blunders & failures, projected improvements, errors in business, cases of sickness. 1861-1892.

F.W. Evans kept this manuscript from November 1861 into 1892. It details what Evans considered to be shortcomings in how the Shakers at New Lebanon and elsewhere lived their lives and administered the Shaker sect. Evans writes critically about carelessness that led to personal injury, lax equipment maintenance, mismanagement that occasioned crop failures, bad business decisions, financial reverses, and other concerns. Every so often, he identifies the people responsible for the problems, either by name or initials. Evans may have maintained this volume to remind himself of problematic Shakers, something that a leader might think was necessary for personnel management, or simply as a record of past wrongdoings that the Shakers needed to be mindful of so they would not be repeated.
