An inspiring collection of source materials concerning Hans Landis and his era, transcribed, translated, and annotated.

His story is briefly given in the Martyr's Mirror and in a martyr ballad in the Ausbund. A hymn and tune bearing his name is commonly used among the Amish. This book offers extensive information about the work, court trials, and death of Hans Landis, as well as insight into the religious, social, and political atmosphere
