Powwowing Among the Pennsylvania Dutch: A Traditional Medical Practice in the Modern World (Pennsylvania German History and Culture)

Part of the volume's appeal stems from Kriebel's integration of case studies and appendices that allow powowwers and their clients to speak for themselves. --Karol K.
