My Friends at Brook Farm

By John Van der Zee Sears

"My Friends at Brook Farm" by John Van der Zee Sears was a utopian experiment in communal living in the United States in the 1840s. Sears, as a child, went to school at Brook Farm. The famous Transcendentalist community was formed by George Ripley. Life on Brook Farm was based on balancing labor and leisure while working together for the greater community's benefit. Each member could choose whatever work they found most appealing and all were paid equally, including women. Sears made many friends here, all of whom are honored in this book.
