But in other Pennsylvania Amish settlements buggies can be black, white or even yellow. The religious paths these Amish communities travel can be strikingly diverse. What emerges is a mosaic of Amish life and practice quite different from the common Amish stereotype.

Finacial pressures have forced the majority of the Amish to forsake farming for more lucrative business enterprises. Business owners tend to adopt technology more rapidly than farmers, leading to a mini- industrial revolution. Amish-style Buggies, once built of wood, now are often built of fiberglass. With more adults working in industries, family dynamics are beginning to change.

Buller's camera captures the changes sweeping across the Amish landscape. His interviews with authors/professors/researches Donald B Kraybill and Steven M Nolt provide uncommon insight into the Amish mindset.

Experience Amish farm life, family life, business enterprises, childhood, school, worship, horse cultures, business practices, barn raising, rumspringa (running around), Florida vacations, women's roles and more. Includes Amish response to Nickel Mines tragedy.

This book brings together for the first time 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.

Atlantic crossings, westward migration, military conscription and compulsory school laws were just a few of the many challenges to the Amish church through the years. Caught in the currents and conflicts of national life, the Amish have remained a distinct people in America's melting pot.

Authoritative, thorough and interestingly written, A History of the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people. Includes a substantial bibliography for further reading and study. Dozens of illustrations.
