註釋

The Millerstown stories republished in this volume provide a rare, incisive glance into the early culture and ways of life that formed and affected Pennsylvania German immigrants and their descendants. The author’s Millerstown stories highlight the positive values of these loyal, hard working, artistic people whose identifiable but different language and culture separated them from the broader American scene. Courting practices, home life, celebrations, ethnic food, village politics, language and other topics each take center stage as the Millerstown population slowly transitions into the American mainstream while attempting to preserve its cultural identity.
