Amish are PA DUTCH
I think this is a timely overview of the Amish of today. I wonder if the address the misconception that the Amish are also PA Dutch. I grew up not knowing the difference and of course, after relocating to Lancaster PA, have learned not only about the differences, but learned how vital the PA Germans were to aiding Washington’s Army and how their many innovations shaped this new country. Amish speak PA Dutch but are not PA Dutch.

Thanks for the contest.
Would love to win this book! I agree that we are fascinated with the Amish, because them seem content with so little compared to the rest of us. I Think alot of us would be curious enough to want to experience it (for awhile).
I have difficulties with commas, too!!!

Three Book Giveaway!
I would love to win these three books!!!
Having lived on an Amish farm and taught in an Amish school in Lancaster County, I am very intetrested in reading this new book. I am sure the authors are familiar with my dear deceased friend, Abner Beiler, the bookbinder.
Barbara you’ve probably seen this somewhere already but if not– https://amishamerica.com/abner-the-bookbinder/
I had seen that and even posted my Abner thoughts in it, but had forgotten about it. As I read what Brad wrote, my memories were flooded with Abner and Katie stories. Abner’s sense of humor was so great and I still repeat some of his stories as I give lectures about Amish life to different groups where I live. My life has been blessed by knowing Abner and Katie.
Book sounds interesting — thanks for the chance to win a copy.
