| Summary |
Who are the "plain people," the men and women who till their fields with horse and plow, travel by horse and buggy, live without electricity and telephones, and practice "help thy neighbor" in daily life? Linda Egenes visited with her Old Order Amish neighbors in southeast Iowa for thirteen years before writing this informative and companionable introduction to their lifeways. |
