Self-description of the book: The text … illuminates the history of the Pennsylvania German sects often erroneously called "Pennsylvania Dutch") who emigrated from Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, found a home in the sympathetic commonwealth of William Penn, and settled primarily in and around Lancaster County. Primarily Amish and Mennonites, these are quiet and modest people whose lives of determined simplicity and whose passion for land seem totally anomalous in modern America.
The photographs …. in their unobtrusive vision … capture the substance and the spirit of these self-reliant people. They also reflect over thirty years of gentle but persistent efforts to document their lives and record their customs. First published in 1970 and here entirely reset with 39 new images added and every photograph reshot for duotone reproduction .
Condition: Very good in all aspects. A former owner’s name is stamped on the title page.
