| Abstract | The originator of the project was Dan West (1893-1971), a farm-based peace activist and staff worker for the Church of the Brethren, known as one of the three Historic Peace Churches along with the Mennonites and the Friends (Quakers). The Brethren originate in Central Germany in 1708, migrating within a few decades to North America, where they became known as one of the groups of plain people," similar in many ways to the better-known Amish and Mennonites. They maintained their largely German ethnic identity until well into the twentieth century." |
