Scope and Contents

Father Elliot wishes to know whether Brownson's father Orestes A. Brownson was ever a resident member of the Brook Farm Community. In writing the life of Father Isaac T. Hecker that question comes up and Dr. Brownson is mentioned as one of its founders. He does not himself refer to it in The Convert, nor does Father Elliot know where else to look in his writings. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
