"A personal testament of the author's heritage, The Red Hills outlines the Pennsylvania Dutch lifestyle as Cornelius Weygandt had experienced it. In the book Weygandt exposed his true passion for his heritage and offers a rich variety on Pennsylvania Dutch characteristics, customs, and crafts, written in an entertaining manner by one who has spent a lifetime collecting their lore." [from the publisher]

He remains the leading authority of all things Pennsylvania Dutch. Weygandt was a decorated Professor of English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was awarded for his greatness in teaching by the Friars Senior Society."
