	Scott Nearing
		Scott Nearing was born to a wealthy family in a coal-mining town in Pennsylvania in 1883.
		Note that even while Nearing admitted he knew nothing about the dead man except that he was Mary and John's son, he presumed his old friends were solely to blame for their grown son's decision to join the military, and were therefore directly responsible for his death.
		It is clear that Nearing felt that his former labor workers would not understand what he saw as the lethal consequences of their actions if he did not explicitly express his views directly to them in the strongest manner possible.

		I returned to the United States, and met Scott Nearing, and a new life developed - one rather devoid of music, because Scott was not musical at all.
		There are lots of good violinists in the world but not too many who were doing what Scott and I did together, living in the woods, growing our own food, building our own buildings, cutting our own wood, being generally self-subsistent.
		Scott had the feeling that we could take care of ourselves better in the country and live cheaper and easier, and he went up to Vermont and found an old neglected, broken-down, poorly preserved farm.

	Jean Hay: Patriotic American Liberal: Lessons from Helen and Scott Nearing
		Once Helen and Scott got me used to being treated as an equal despite my youth and inexperience, I was ready for their next major lesson — to be open to the possibilities by always challenging my assumptions.
		From her perspective, she willingly was playing second fiddle to a man who stood on principle and chose a life of severe frugality and country living rather than bend his ideals to fit into a society he could not abide.
		I first met Helen and Scott in the week between Christmas and New Year's in 1971, when my then-husband and I stopped by their Harborside home totally unannounced (they then had no phone) during a land-hunting foray.
