Uncommon Americans and the Vision of John Humphrey Noyes
The article portrays John Humphrey Noyes as a controversial reformer whose early life in Vermont and education led to radical communal experiments in Putney Vermont and Oneida New York. It notes his move to Oneida, his controversial eugenics era program, and the lasting impact and later reassessment by historians despite persecution and decline of the community. A final note mentions a Maidenhead Bridge hotel boundary nail marking the Buckinghamshire Berkshire border.
