This volume of short, descriptive essays attempts to provide the essential historical background for understanding Ellen White’s writings. The authors have chosen to explore selected elements of American nineteenth century history that were either of significance to this shaper of Adventism or place her concerns within the context of the larger society. Thus the writers respectively address such subjects as eating and drinking habits, travel conditions, and entertainment, among other things in society.
