Joseph Brackett
Joseph Brackett Jr. (May 6, 1797 – July 4, 1882) was an American songwriter, author, and elder of The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, better known as the Shakers. Brackett's most famous song, "Simple Gifts", is still widely performed and adapted.
==Biography==
Brackett was born in Cumberland, Maine, on May 6, 1797, as Elisha Brackett. When he was 10, his first name was changed to Joseph, like his father's, as the Bracketts joined the short-lived Shaker community in Gorham, Maine.〔 This new Shaker community was centered on the Brackets' property, until the whole group moved to Poland Hill, Maine, in 1819.〔 Brackett's father died there on July 27, 1838, but Brackett continued to rise in the Shaker community, eventually becoming the head of the society in Maine.〔
Brackett died in the Shaker community of Sabbathday Lake at New Gloucester, Maine, on July 4, 1882.〔
