Stackpole Books

2008 / 96 pages / 40 photographs

This book explains the lifestyle of the Lancaster County Amish. Short descriptions of all aspects of Amish life, from dress and spirituality to horse-and-buggy transportation, are accompanied by full-color photographs. Myths about the Amish, their selective use of technology, the current media attention on Rumspringa, and the tragedy at the Nickel Mines school are also discussed.
