Review
"A comprehensive study that will be of interest to the general reader as well as scholars and students of the vernacular landscape... The book is profusely illustrated with good photographs, diagrams, and line drawings" -- Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
"With the perspective of a master builder and farmer and the eye of an artist, Ensminger guides the reader through the historical development of Pennsylvania barns from their origin in medieval Europe to their present-day uses... All may be identified by studying the photographs generously scattered throughout the text." -- llinois Historical Journal
"With this volume, Ensminger has drawn our attention to one of the most distinctive buildings in the American landscape, one which offers lessons not only pertinent to American agriculture and ethnic history, but one whose study reveals much about settlement processes. Every scholar concerned with material culture on whatever level will want to read and treasure this book." -- Professional Geographer
"Ensminger's volume may well rank as the best scholarly work to date on the study of a specific American barn type... This enthusiastic Pennsylvania scholar-farmer has produced an attractive and highly readable account of the Pennsylvania barn." -- Steve C. Gordon, Material Culture
"[A] monumental study... This commendable book offers a fitting tribute to what is undoubtedly the greatest contribution of Pennsylvania Germans to the agricultural landscape." -- Clarke E. Hess, Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage
