Book excerpt: Nestled in the Iowa River valley of Eastern Iowa are the historic Amana Colonies. These seven villages display vestigial signs of one of the longest-lived communal societies in American history. The community's historical roots can be traced from Germany, to New York, and finally to the newly developing state of Iowa. The members of the Amana Colonies sought a self-sustaining, secluded, and pious life. They established this reality in Iowa County.This is a story of one of those members, Elise Katherine Leichsenring Berger. Childhood experiences, growing older, and entering the communal school system, making friends, dating, and following the development of her marriage and family are all central components in this book's narrative. The reader will get a glimpse of the broader community dynamics through Elise's personal story as they are intertwined with local, national, and world-wide historical events including the World Wars, Prohibition, and the ending of the communal system in 1932. The life of this centenarian documents the dramatic changes within the Amana Colonies from communal through modern times.Drawn largely from personal recordings of Elise and other uncommon sources, Echoes of Elise provides unique insight into the daily life and experiences of a member within this intriguing community. These personal, universal experiences give the reader insight into the Amana's history in a way unlike ever before. Listen to Elise, she has a story to tell...

Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated book gives an overview of the Amana community from its founding in Germany, first settlement in New York, and permanent dwelling in eastern Iowa. It focuses on Iowa's Amana Colonies: seven villages that are the longest lasting of America's communal groups. It gives an up-to-date account of the Amana Society's successful reorganization into separate church and business organizations. A treasure! The German immigrants who settled the Amana Colonies of Iowa in 1855 brought with them a rich cultural heritage of arts and crafts. That heritage is explored and celebrated in this book. This comprehensive title explores everything from clock making, furniture, and woodworking to basketry, caning, and carpet weaving. Full-color photographs by photographer Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret show the beauty that abounds in Amana, including gorgeous gardens and architecture. Together, the text and photos become their own work of art.

Book excerpt: Johanna Ilg has lived her entire life in Main Amana, one of the seven villages inhabited by devout Christians who believe in cooperative living, a simple lifestyle, and faithful service to God.

But when she learns a troubling secret, the world she thought she knew is shattered and she is forced to make difficult choices about a new life and the man she left behind.

Download or read book The Amanas Yesterday written by Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret and published by Penfield Books. This book was released on 1975 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gradual change from a communal way of life with strong respect for tradition. People were rarely alone in the old Amanas. Historic photographs. Amana Colonies are located in middle eastern Iowa. Though time took its toll on the communal life in the Amana Colonies, the spirit of strength and sincerity continues as a legacy to the new era in these seven villages in Iowa. The photograph at the end of the book conveys the spirit and sincerity imbued by this heritage. Children are pictured walking in the Schulwald (school woods, so named because the trees were planted by school pupils) pine forest. "The trees became tall and erect, and they whispered in the wind, and walking beneath their lacy boughs became one of the soft delights of communal Amana." The trees of the Schulwald were felled for lumber, at the request of the United States Government during World War II, but the visual impressions and historic testimony of a people's heritage are preserved in The Amanas Yesterday. Today, the Amana Colonies are Iowa's largest tourist attraction with more than a million visitors annually. Visitors find a heritage preserved in the museums, former communal kitchens and living quarters, furniture factories, woolen mill, family-style restaurants, unique stores and shops, traditional meat processing plants and bakeries, wineries, industriously farmed land and a major industry in the nationally successful Amana Refrigeration Plant.

Book excerpt: The Amana Colonies were founded by members of the Community of True Inspiration, a Pietist sect that originated in southwest Germany in 1714. Beginning in 1842, members of the sect migrated to New York and founded the Eben-Ezer Society, in which land, shops, and homes were owned communally. Members worked at assigned jobs, attended 11 church services each week, and received food, clothing, and shelter. Beginning in 1855, the community relocated to a 26,000-acre tract in eastern Iowa, where they founded the seven Amana villages, each with its own church, school, general store, craft shop, and barns. A disastrous fire, economic downturns, and a growing dissatisfaction with communal life led the members to vote to reorganize as a separate business and church organization in 1932. Images of America: Amana Colonies: 1932-1945 examines a time when the Amana people worked to preserve aspects of their traditional religious and cultural life while, simultaneously, learning to embrace American life and the waves of people who visited these unique villages in growing numbers.
