Summary
Little written material remains from these women who reared large families and made homes for them, who measured their lives by the church's standards. This vibrant collection of photographs, however, tells a remarkable story of "girl crowds," courting couples, multi-generational harvest/gardening work parties, high-spirited quilters, purposeful caregivers. Thoughtful, interpretive text provides both a structural background for what the photos show, as well as stories and specific detail about what the pictures hold.A rare view of women's lives in an unusually robust community -- the Mennonites of Lancaster, Pennsylvania [from Goodreads]

Summary
"In the accompanying text, Donald Kraybill - author of the highly acclaimed Riddle of Amish Culture - tells the often surprising story of today's Old Order Amish. His introduction provides a sweeping overview of Amish life in North America and explains how a traditional people have managed not merely to survive but to flourish in the midst of modern life. In thirty-five vignettes throughout the book, Kraybill explains Amish views on issues ranging from "Childbirth" and "Women Entrepreneurs" to "The Riddles of Farm Machinery," "Sowing Wild Oats,"and "The Politics of Separation." His concluding essay examines why modern observers are so drawn to the Amish and their traditional values.Old Order Amish details the rigors of hard work, the strength of family and community, the discipline of the religious Ordnung, and the ingenious Amish compromises with modernity. Here at last is an authentic portrait of the Amish - in striking photographs and honest accounts of their daily concerns and enduring traditions."

"Of Great Presumption": Public houses, Public culture, and the political life of colonial Philadelphia / 5."Council's of State": Philadelphia's taverns and the American Revolution
Summary
In Rum Punch and Revolution, Thompson shows how the public houses provided a setting in which Philadelphians from all walks of life revealed their characters and ideas as nowhere else. He takes the reader into the cramped confines of the colonial bar room, describing the friendships, misunderstandings and conflicts which were generated among the city's drinkers and investigates the profitability of running a tavern in a city which, until independence, set maximum prices on the cost of drinks and services in its public houses.Taverngoing, Thompson writes, fostered a sense of citizenship that influenced political debate in colonial Philadelphia and became an issue in the city's revolution. Opinionated and profoundly undeferential, taverngoers did more than drink; they forced their political leaders to consider whether and how public opinion could be represented in the counsels of a newly independent nation.
