Allensville, Pa: Kishacoquillas Valley Historical Society, 1994. Hardcover. VG (very slight soiling to dj). Tan cloth, white & color illus. dust jacket, maps on flyleaves, 67 pp., 72 color illus. "Illustrates and introduces to the reader a little known individual who, through the normal course of his life, left a legacy of artifacts for us to conserve. The artwork he produced has reached a level of importance that recognizes the need for documentation and study. This Amish man's accomplishments and the time period he worked reflects on a culture we can observe to better understand both his and our own heritage. ... The obscurity of the man, Samuel Plank, is uncloaked in fresh and entertaining third person narrative. The 'Family Record' compiled by D. E. Plank in 1908 and illustrated in its entirety is a valuable resource for genealogy study." (dj) Includes 72 full-color illustrations of his craftsmanship. Nice!
