Epigraph

Song of a People

We watch the past create the now,
And wish to plant before we plow.
We hear goodbye in each hello,
And wish to stay when we must go,
We speak of peace in time of war,
And watch the rich receive the poor,
As day makes night a fugitive,
The living dream, the dreaming live.

--Merle Good

Dedication

First words

[Prologue] How can the splash of color, synonymous with many Amish quilts, well up from a people whose life is so reserved and disciplined?

The first permanent settlement of Amish in America was in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
