An enlightening, instructive collection of articles written by journalists between 1867 and 1935 on their perceptions of the Amana colonies. Furthermore, the newspaper stories demonstrated that from an early date communal Amana was a popular new subject, not an isolated unknown, and provide many examples of how the community opened itself to outsiders. "A bit of Europe in America, a voice out of the past on the world's western frontier, this unique community stands as the nearest approach in our day to the Utopian's dream of a community of men and women living together in peace, plenty, and happiness, away from the world and its many distractions. But the communism of Amana is not a dream: it is a fact an established order of life." Historical photographs and articles document the Amana community.

From the Introduction by John Zug: "The Amanas are a wispy brush of soft memory across the face of yesterday that never can quite be recreated, even in the mind. For times change relentlessly, and with it come changes in the faces and beliefs of the people, and even in the face of the earth as they place upon it their mark. Here was the New World home of the Community of True Inspiration, founded in 1855. Their way was communal. There were 25,000 rich acres, and each member -- of German, Swiss, and Alsatian ancestry -- handed down his skills from father to son, from mother to daughter, in the Old World tradition. Thus were manned the farms, woolen mills, meat smoking plants, furniture factory, wineries, community kitchens, and other industries.". 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Trade Paperback.
