Sinopsis

J. Howard: A Prophet of Our Times tells in two parts the lifestyle and experiences of J. Howard Flower, a lifelong resident of Hartland Four Corners, Vermont. Part I details the biography of the man; Part II portrays the prophetic aspects of his lifestyle and experiences.Born in the latter part of the Nineteenth Century, Howard lived far in advance of the times. Time Herself bears this out. He loved freedom in all its aspects and abhorred conventionality in the same manner. A social reformer, he became a vegetarian at an early age, took care of his health in natural ways, wore his hair long, dressed in radical fashions. As a young man he scoffed at formal titles and marriage. In his view there was no such thing as inequality between the sexes.Long before it was accepted practice, and in defiance of the law, he was home schooling his children. Early on he cast formal religion out the window. Disagreeing vehemently with the need for war, disagreeing in the same way with the two major political parties, he was not afraid to make his positions known.We have here an individual destined to present a foreshadowing of social change.

Biografía del autor

I am a proud native Vermonter who was born in Hartland Four Corners. I was home-schooled up through the seventh grade. I graduated from Windsor High School and the University of Vermont where I received a B. A. Degree. Then followed many summers of taking additional courses in Languages Arts.Having taught Eleventh and Twelfth Grade Language Arts for a number of years, retiring in 1981, I had assigned, read and evaluated countless papers for literally hundreds of students. I decided in the 1980's to write this book, spending years in researching, writing, evaluating and rewriting (many times!) the subject matter.Much of my time now is given to helping maintain the Hartland family homestead.
