The Quaker Cross: A Story Of The Old Bowne House is a historical fiction novel written by Cornelia Mitchell Parsons and published in 1911. The story is set in the late 17th century and revolves around the Bowne family, who were Quakers living in Flushing, New York.The protagonist of the story is young Elizabeth Bowne, who struggles with her faith and the strict Quaker lifestyle imposed upon her by her parents. She finds solace in her friendship with a young man named John, who is not a Quaker but shares her love for nature and adventure.As Elizabeth grows older, she becomes more involved in the Quaker community and begins to question the injustices and hypocrisies she sees around her. She becomes an advocate for women's rights and social justice, despite the disapproval of her family and the wider Quaker community.The novel also explores the history of the Bowne House, which was a significant site in the early history of religious tolerance in America. The house, which still stands in Flushing, was owned by John Bowne, who was arrested in 1662 for allowing Quakers to hold meetings in his home. His case eventually led to the establishment of religious freedom in the colony of New York.Overall, The Quaker Cross is a compelling historical fiction novel that explores themes of faith, social justice, and the struggle for religious freedom in early America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
