Questions[edit]

First, I wonder if it's pushing it to put Palmer into the category of "People associated with Transcendentalism" based on his link to Fruitlands. Also, regarding his beard, it was my understanding that growing a beard was not a crime, but not registering the beard and paying a "beard tax" was breaking the law. I have a source that talks about the Fruitlands community and only briefly mentions a member who refused a beard-related tax but doesn't say Palmer specifically. Can anyone confirm this? --Midnightdreary (talk) 23:43, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
