THE FRIENDLY VIRGINIANS depicts vividly the rise and progress of Virginia's Quakers since 1655 — a golden thread shining in the warp and woof of America's history. Jay Worrall uses diaries and journals to portray the personal lives and thoughts of early Quakers. He places Virginia Quakers solidly in the mainstream of pivotal events forging American history, while focusing on the individual or the family in the context of developing Virginia society.

Classic Quaker worship proceeds largely in silence. Amazingly, this style of worship led and still leads to pioneering in certain grand areas of social order: for peace and against slavery; for religious freedom; for civil rights; and for women's rights. The world view of The Friendly Virginians has affected their lives and characters and, as you may read, the ways of the larger society.

Jay Worrall, Jr., historian and veteran Quaker, took thirty years to research this never-before-told, engaging account. His scholarship and documentation fully support the pervasive impact of the Friendly Virginians on American history and society.
