Mansfield to present book
Howard Mansfield returns to Gibson’s Bookstore to present his newest book, Chasing Eden: A Book of Seekers on Oct. 14 at 6:30 p.m.
Chasing Eden is about the seekers all around us, about Americans seeking their Promised Land, their utopia out on the horizon – which by definition, is ever receding before us. In Chasing Eden we meet a gathering of Americans – the Shakers in the twilight of their utopia; the Wampanoags confronting the Pilgrims; the God-besotted landscape painters who taught Americans that in wilderness was Eden; and 40,000 Africans newly freed from slavery granted 40 acres and a mule – only to be swiftly dispossessed. These and other seekers were on the road to find out, all united by their longing to find in America “a revolution of the spirit.”
