Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

In this first volume in a new series devoted to "plain fact transformed into art by the writer's talent," poet Gundy (English, Bluffton Coll.), has used his research into his family's history to re-create voices from his past. He starts with his Amish and Mennonite ancestors, who immigrated to Ohio and Illinois from Alsace and Bavaria in the 1830s, and continues through four generations to his great-grandparents George and Clara Gundy. Each of the first seven chapters is devoted to a first-person narrative of one of the family members and is interspersed with the author's comments on his struggles and responses to the material as he is writing. The last chapter is devoted to the lives of George and Clara. More than a family history, Gundy's book conveys a sense of connection between the people and generations that create communities. His book is highly recommended for general readers interested in genealogy, Mennonite history, and the writing process.
