Music on the Mountain - Liner Notes. The Shakers, or as they were formally known, the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, began as a small band of dissenting Protestants, led by Ann Lee, a Manchester blacksmith's daughter. They became known as the "Shaking Quakers" because when they bore witness during worship, their bodies shook and moved. In 1774, Mother Ann and her followers left England and emigrated to Watervliet, New York; from that original settlement, the movement spread and flourished throughout the northeast and as far west as Kentucky and Ohio. A community of Believers still lives, committed to the Shaker life, at Sabbathday Lake, Maine.
