AB - Fictionalized biographies of Jacob Engle, John Winger, Martin Baer, David Gingrich, Jacob Bechtel, Samuel Bricker, Benjamin Eby, Ephraim Weber and other pioneers. Some of the material on the earliest Pennsylvania settlers to Waterloo was also mentioned in Groh's articles in the 1967 volume of {Canadian-German Folklore}. Reasons for the immigration from Pennsylvania, the hardships endured by the early settlers, and the establishment and later split of the Mennonite Church in Waterloo County during the Great Awakening are all described.
