Reviews
Scott is into horse-drawn buggies the way many Americans are into cars." -Associated Press"A definitive book on buggies." - Pittsburg Gazette"This interesting and complete book, describing why thousands of Amish and Mennonites drive horses and buggies instead of cars, could well be entitled 'Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Buggies.'" - The Backstretch"It is written factually and objectively. An interesting part deals with the matter of horses. What a horse's face tells about its personality is of great importance to those who depend on horses for transportation. There have been problems with laws in different states and Scott explains what has been accomplished by ways of compromise in different areas. After reading this book, one has a better understanding of the 100,000 among us who choose to drive buggies for religious reasons." - Guidelines for Today"He identifies four main buggy styles: the Pennsylvania, with straight sides, two sets of seats and tops of black, gray, white or yellow; Ohio, with angled sides, one seat and black tops; Indiana, with the top built around the base of the seat backrest, one seat and black top; and Swiss, with no top and painted black. "Other variations are used by Old Order Mennonites, Old Colony Mennonites in Mexico and Brethren groups. "The plain people cling to horsedrawn transportation for what they believe is a practical reason-survival in a modern world, Scott said in his book. The automobile is viewed as a threat to the close-knit family, church, and community structures, he said." - The Philadelphia Bulletin"Delightful pictures as well as tables on costs of buggies in various geographical areas of the United States." - Mennonite Quarterly Review"Steve has been gathering the information for Plain Buggies over a period of 15 years. He has visited may Old Order communities and sent out questionnaires to buggy shops and members of Old Order fellowships. He had also researched extensively in the Old Order Amish Historical Library of Aylmer, Ontario. "We are featuring Plain Buggies this week, for we are certain that many of our readers will want to know about this book." - The Budget"The author details facts about the manufacture, pricing, restoration, and technology of buggies. He gives us specifics on where the horses come from and what their appearance tells us. We learn the features of the all important harnessing. Mr. Scott provides an in-depth survey of the approximately 90 variations of the vehicle. It is illustrated with over 100 photos, a glossary, and index." - Echoes"At least 90 varieties of horsedrawn vehicles exist among the Amish, Mennonite, and Brethren groups in North America. Buggies are rarely traded in for newer models since styles change slowly or not at all." - Sunday Digest"For anyone interested in the Old Order World and/or the design and development of buggies in America, this is an interesting study." - The Chronicle of the Horse
