Description

Driving the agricultural roads of Michigan one may come upon a black buggy driven by a bonneted lady or a bearded Amish man. In 1955 there have been fewer than five hundred Amish in Michigan—in 2000 there have been more than seven thousand. The Amish, with their distinctive life-taste, are found most effective in North The us where approximately 170,000 reside in twenty-four states and one Canadian province. This sensitive and  fascinating volume explores the Amish historical  background, immigration into Michigan,  occupations, marriage patterns, cultural  conflicts, community-financed schools, medical  practices, and cultural survival.
