Summary
"To God Alone The Honor documents the family relations of the first Mennonite pioneers who settled in 1710 in what is now Lancaster County, and ends with the impoverished "Mennonists Swissers' who arrived at Philadelphia in 1754 on the ship Phoenix. The British Parliament described the Mennonite immigrants as a 'sober, quiet and industrious people.' And they were, but we remember them more for their faith- a faith which lives today in the hearts of many of their descendants." [book jacket]
