Authoritative, thorough, and interestingly written, A History of
the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people
with dozens of illustrations and updated statistics. The Amish, one
of America's most intriguingly private, unique, and often
misunderstood religious communities, have survived for three
hundred years! How has that happened? While much has been written
on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This
book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish
people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in
North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs
and traditions in often hostile settings. Chapters include:
Migration and Persistence: The Amish in Europe, 1693-1801
Settlement and Struggle in a New World: The Amish in Eighteenth
Century Pennsylvania Merging Traditions: Amish Mennonites and
Mennonites in North America and Europe, 1870-1937 Finding a Place
in Modern America, 1900-1945 And more! Now updated, the book gives
an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow
and change. It covers recent developments in new Amish settlements,
the community's conflict and negotiation with government, the
Nickel Mines school shooting, and the media's constant fascination
with this religious people, from reality TV shows to romance
novels.
