Understand

In 1855, a group of German settlers decided to buy some 18,000 acres of land in eastern Iowa. These settlers, whose spirituality was marked by a strong belief in mysticism and communal life, sought to practice their religion in isolation. The Great Depression made it impossible for the villages to continue their isolation, and the Amana people voted to end their communal life and build economic ties with the outside world. To this day, these people still maintain the traditional industries--woolen textiles, meats and cheeses, furniture--that their ancestors brought over from Germany.
