Abstract
Although the Amish are often portrayed as a people of stability, they are continually establishing new settlements to accommodate their growing population. Some of the new settlements thrive while others fail. Amish historian David Luthy charts the ebb and flow of Amish migrations in the two decades following the Supreme Court case that vindicated Amish education in 1972. Following a discussion of the migration patterns, Luthy provides a state by state listing of the Amish settlements in North America. The directory identifies the year of the settlement's founding as well as its number of congregations (p. 243).
