The PENNSYLVANIA GERMANS: A Preliminary Reading List By DON YODER Since the publication of our Amish reading list ("What to Read on the Amish," Pennsylvania Folklife, XVIII: 4, Summer 1969, 14-19) we have been asked by many of our correspondents to publish a similar A PICTURE OF THE list on the Pennsylvania Dutch (Pennsylvania Germans ) in general. We do so now, noting for our readers that PENNSYLVANIA this is a selected list, largely for beginners in the fi eld, which covers a selected range of topics in Pennsylvania GERMANS Dutch culture : History, Language and Literature, Genealogy, Religion, Medicine, The Arts, Architecture, Music, Costume, Cookery and Foodways, and The Pennsylvania Dutchman in Fiction. Also, in delimiting the list, we have decided to include, with a few excep tions, only English-language and 20th Century materials, and among these, principaIIy materials which are still in print or available in larger reference libraries in the area. The largest and most basic bibliography on the Penn sylvania Germans is the massive work by the German scholar Emil Meynen, Bibliography on German S ettle m ents in Colonial America, Espe'cially on the Pennsylva nia Germans and Their Descendants, 1683-1933 (Leip zig: Otto Harrassowitz, 1937) . GENERAL HISTORICAL WORKS The general works on the Pennsylvania Germans can be divided into the historic and the contemporary. Of the historic treatments, two deserve special attention, (1) Dr. Benjamin Rush, An Account of the Manners of the German Inhabitants of Pennsylvania ( 1789), 1 > I \\11 \lil,',111~11'r edited by Theodore E. Schmauk with notes by I. D. II Rupp (Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1910), Pennsylvania German Society, Volume XIX; and (2) Phebe Earle Gibbons, "Pennsylvania Dutch," and other Essays (Philadelphia: J.' B. Lippincott & Co., 1872, enlarged edition 1882). Phebe Gibbons was a Philadelphia Quakeress who "lived neighbors" to the "Dutch" in Lancaster County for several decades before the Civil War. The book gives an intimate and lively portrait still pleasant reading and provides us with the truest of the customs and attitudes of the Amish, Mennonites, portrait of the Pennsylvania Dutch people achieved in Dunkards, Moravians and Schwenkfelders by a sensitive the 19th Century. wife and mother, who even learned Pennsylvania Dutch Of the 20th Century treatments, Oscar Kuhns, The to converse with her housewife friends.
