Between 1869 and 1882, Phebe Earle Gibbons, a Pennsylvania Quaker, wrote down her first-hand observations of the lifestyles and customs of the Pennsylvania Dutch groups that surrounded her -- the Amish, Mennonites, Moravians, Schwenkfelders -- as well as English Quakers and Welsh and Irish miners of Scranton. She described their weddings, funerals, religious practices, social gatherings, family life, folk beliefs, and holidays. This new edition of Gibbons's classic work includes a new introduction by Don Yoder which discusses the significance of the book and the life of its author.

LANGUAGE. The tongue which these people speak is a dialect of the German, but they generally call it and themselves "Dutch." For the native German who works with them on the farm they entertain some contempt, and the title "Yankee" is with them a synonym for cheat.* As must always be the case where the great majority do not read the tongue which they speak, and live in contact with those who speak another, the language has become mixed and corrupt.
