The author wishes to learn how the backcountry world and changes in it affected Quakers. In Berks County, the site of Exeter Monthly Meeting, they were a small religious minority surrounded by people whose first language was German; they had only a minor presence in the government of the county and were pacifists living exposed to wartime attack by Native Americans.	1
