William Logan Fisher papers 1749-1861 Fisher, William Logan

http://quod.lib.umich.edu/c/clementsead/umich-wcl-M-1898fis?rgn=main;view=text

The Fisher collection consists mostly of letters received by William Logan Fisher between 1798 and 1861, along with a few items concerning other family members. The strength of this small collection lies in its documentation of the crisis afflicting American Quakerism during the antebellum period, particularly the deep rifts that developed in the meetings at Lynn and New Bedford, Mass., and the efforts there to suppress dissent.
