Sketch of the life and experience of Issachar Bates (sen.). [ca. 1840.].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/779873092

Contains much on Issachar Bates's life as a missionary for the Shakers throughout New England and the Midwest, but also about his early life, before he became a Shaker. Includes copies of letters and hymns that he wrote, some before his conversion to Shakerism. Although Bates wrote an autobiography in 1833 that is in manuscript at the Shaker Museum Library, Old Chatham, NY, this book is dated ca. 1840; material on Bates's funeral in 1837 indicates a later date than 1833.
