Title: Mennonites in North America (1874-1910)
Description: This is a translation of Part 2 of P.M. Friesen’s 1911 German publication, an account of Mennonite immigration, cultural assimilation, and spiritual development in the United States and Canada. It consists of a diverse collection of documentation and data, taken from published and unpublished sources, including both anecdotal and formal presentations. Initially conceived as “a specialized study of the Mennonite Brethren Church,” in Friesen’s words, the original volume grew to become a history of Mennonites in Russia (Part 1, 1789-1910) and Mennonites in North America (Part 2, 1874-1910). The translation of Part 2 is by Jake K. Balzer.
