"Reveals the heart and soul of the Amish culture. This is the best
introduction to Lancaster's Amish community." —Steven M. Nolt,
author of A History of the Amish More than eight million people
visit Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, every year to experience the
culture of the oldest Amish community in the world. This book by the
leading scholar of the Amish explains the uncommon lifestyle of these
simple-living people who intrigue so many visitors. Mini-essays
on all aspects of Amish life, from dress and spirituality to
horse-and-buggy transport, are accompanied by beautiful full-color
photographs. The author also discusses myths about the Amish, their
selective use of technology, the recent media attention to Rumspringa,
and the tragedy at the Nickel Mines school.
