| Abstract | Transcription by Mattie Lowry of stories told by her father, Emanuel A. Troyer, who dictated an account of Holmes County, Pennsylvania, history almost entirely in Pennsylvania Dutch. Mr. Troyer, an Amish farmer for most of his life, includes information on the roles played by dogs and horses in Amish life, Amish education in one-room grade schools, the interaction of Amish with their neighbors, the frequency with which the Amish move from house to house, the manner in which the Holmes County Amish prepare for their bi-weekly religious services, and young Amish men as conscientious objectors during the world wars. |
