Edsel Burdge Jr. and Samuel L. Horst tell the stories of three centuries of faith and life among the Washington County (Md.), and Franklin County (Pa.) Mennonites. From small beginnings in colonial American settlements, issues such as personal spiritual commitment, corporate accountability, nonconformity, and peace have been constants. This history describes in detail the particulars of that struggle as well as recounting stories illustrative of community life in general.

He taught for twelve years in various Mennonite schools and currently writes curriculum for Christian Light Education and edits the Conococheague Mennonist, a publication of the Mennonite Historical Association of the Cumberland Valley.
