Book description

This book is a collection of drawings by a man who spent time in the Amish community. There are also descriptions of the pictures and information on different rituals of the Amish. The Amish are a cultural group that students need to know about because they are part of our Indiana culture. I would use this book so students can see drawings that depict different aspects of this culture that impacts Indiana history.
