Summary
The Old Order Amish, with their horse-drawn buggies, old-fashioned way of dress, and rejection of the twentieth century and its gadgets, are the largest distinctive settlement left in America. The author, who lives on the outskirts of an Amish community of east central Ohio, has written a warm and candid account of their way of life, reaching to the heart of the faith which inspires it.
