Book Description
For more than half a century, the Kempsville, Virginia, Amish-Mennonite community flourished with its agricultural enterprises. Major changes came, however, as the twentieth century reached midpoint. Virginia Beach's construction boom began displacing well-kept farmsteads. First, along Witchduck, Kempsville, and Princess Anne Roads and Parliament Drive, and later along Holland Road, dairy barns and farmhouses gave way to the bulldozer's blade. Single family homes, apartments, and shopping centers sprang up where milk cows grazed a few years earlier. Too soon, the last vestiges of that special era have all but disappeared. We hope this volume calls up pleasant memories for those who once lived in this Amish-Mennonite community, and for readers not to privileged, may the photos and stories contained here provide a rare glimpse into what many of us still fondly recall as "living at Kempsville."

Book Description
The Amish movement, whose members live in 19 states of Canada and Central America are a mystery to just about everyone except themselves. Here is a group which has deliberately passed on just about everything modern society has to offer, extending as far as electricity, gasoline, television, automobiles and movies. Yet Amish children are not educationally deprived in any way and regularly score above average on standardised tests. This book presents background information including a bibliography on this most interesting movement and includes also a review of Supreme Court rulings related to the Amish.
