I enjoyed William Ecenbarger`s article on March 30 entitled, ”The Amish: Unwilling stars of a tourist boom.” The author, however, erred in referring to the Amish as ”urban radical pacifists in Europe during the 1500s.” The Amish have been almost exclusively a rural people since their inception in 1693 when Jakob Ammann, a Mennonite elder, bolted the Mennonite ranks and formed his own church.
