Crescent Books, New York, NY: 1987, 1987 120 p. Wonderful color photographs, and insightful text. 4to. DJ. AS NEW. "The poignant photos and text of AMISH COUNTRY country extend an unprecedented invitation into the realm of the Amish. throughout the 120 pages Amish ways and the reasons behind them become real in striking images and descriptive vignettes. With his eye for graphic detail and arresting light, photographer Blair Seitz interprets a slice of Amish life. In these 175 color photos his wide journalistic experience undergirds his photographic presentation. Working from before sunrise to an hour past sunset, Blair captured the poetic richness of the Amish countryside as well as any magic moments in a day's routine within a 50-square-mile area in Pennsylvania's eastern Lancaster County. In her personalized text, Ruth Hoover Seitz characterizes the lifestyle of the Amish from childhood thorough old age. Drawing from numerous interviews with Amish people and non-Amish observers, she weaves the elements and values of Amish culture into factually based episodes. The book includes edited segments of the diary of a teacher in an Amish-Mennonite school. Ruth skillfully describes communal events such as the gathering of a "supper gang," a preaching service, a wedding and a funeral. her writing keeps the details of Amish distinctiveness secondary to the spirit of their faith and culture. - From the dust jacket.
