The Angel and the Serpent is a book which combines scholarship and literary grace, and which recreates for us both the world of the Rappites and the Owenites. -Henry Steele Commager, The New York Times Book Review

Here is the story of George Rapp’s German Harmonists and Robert Owen’s Idealists-the two vastly different communities that shaped the history of New Harmony, Indiana Both the Rappites and the Owenites came to New Harmony to conduct communal living experiments-Rapp expecting the millennium; Owen believing he had brought the millennium with him.
