Eight-year old Johann and his family arrived in Pennsylvania in 1747 on a ship named Restauration. The Thomas family, Mennonite pacifists escaping persecution in Europe, arrived just in time to experience the end of the Friends' control of the Pennsylvania legislature with pacifism as the official state policy toward Native Americans. This historical fiction traces Johann's next ten years through the unfolding French and Indian War.

Summary
"March 1858...Should Kansas be admitted to the Union? Who will run Pennsylvania's canals? What is the family's relation to Society? These are but a few of the concerns recorded this month by Henry Kyd Douglas in 'The Douglas diary'. Douglas, residing on Center Square, is in the class of 1858 at F&M College. He tells of the 'students escort' to President James Buchanan during the latter's inaugural one year ago. 'The Douglas Diary' is also said to record many other events and hitherto unexplained mischief in community, college and national life during the years 1856-1858." [advertisement]
