Ah, OK. Tho', I never took Andelson's class ... Learned about the Amanas through independent research.

As for the Amish, they're here in NY. Not what you would think. A good start is Amish Society, by Hostetler.

There are plenty of Amish in southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, too. I have a hard time telling Amana from Amish by looking, although I could easily tell Amana and Mennonites apart when I lived near them in Iowa.
