Men Without Guns

By DeWitt MacKenzie and Clarence Worden

Book Overview

Men Without Guns is a non-fiction book written by DeWitt Mackenzie. It tells the story of a group of American Quakers who, in the early 20th century, traveled to Nicaragua to establish a peaceful settlement. The Quakers, who were pacifists, refused to carry guns or participate in any form of violence. This decision put them at odds with the Nicaraguan government and the various armed groups vying for power in the region. Despite the danger, the Quakers remained committed to their principles and worked tirelessly to build a community based on cooperation and mutual respect. The book explores the challenges and triumphs of the Quaker settlement, and provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter of American history. Mackenzie's writing is engaging and insightful, and he does an excellent job of bringing the Quakers' story to life. Overall, Men Without Guns is a thought-provoking and inspiring read that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of pacifism and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
