Folk art, foodways and material culture in the greater Rhine valley are the focus of this fourth volume, ranging from prehistoric times through the 18th century, along with the families thereabout named Bachman, Hiestand, Ringger, and Strickler.

"This six-book series contains a wealth of historical detail about many Anabaptist-rooted families of Canton Zürich, Switzerland. Baughman brings historical stories to life that have been buried for centuries. In doing so, his amazing drawings, maps, and ancient images enrich the narratives, making lasting impressions on the readers' minds. Ross' books paved the way for me as I researched the Swiss and Rhineland-German history of my Anabaptist Hiestand family, from Europe and all the way to their settlements in early America." - Wayne Haston, Ph.D.
