4.9/5 (9920 ratings)

Description:Dust jacket notes: "Like the Pilgrims and the Puritans, the Amish came to the New World in search of religious freedom. Unlike the others, the Amish are still very much with us. Today across the Americas you will find them living their simple pioneer way of life, in much the same way as they did when they first began settling this country before the Revolutionary War. Known primarily by the nickname 'Pennsylvania Dutch', they are often associated with only Lancaster, Pennsylvania, yet 20 states have these horse and buggy people, as well as Canada and an increasing number of Latin American countries. If you live in any one of America's farm belt states you are not more than a few hours from Amish farming country. Here you can stand in a doorway to the past and witness horse drawn plows turning up rich farm land, barn raisings and quilting bees. In the winter months, you will find sleighs and sleds along country roads, and heavy wagons laden with ice cut from a frozen farm pond for summer refrigeration. For more than 12 years Writer/Photographer John M. Zielinski has been painstakingly documenting Old Order Amish life. The Amish: A Pioneer Heritage details their early history, and migration across the farmlands of America. In these pages you will find the Amish of Conewango Valley, New York, the plains of Ontario, Canada, the corn country of Iowa, right down to Lancaster - the oldest Amish settlement in America. Not since the Farm Security Administration work of the 1930s has there been such an intense study of the American farm heritage."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
