The Amish of Lancaster County

“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.
