Books by Benjamin Rush

A description, originally published in 1789, of Pennsylvania German culture. Reprint of 1875 edition, with notes, preface, and appendixes by Pennsylvania historian Daniel Rupp.

?This autobiography is always good, often delightful reading. It is not merely one man's story but a social history of the first order...the life story and unadorned thoughts of a talented, honorable, pig-headed, far-thinking, outspoken good doctor, who has, like all doctors, many a tale to tell.?-New York Herald Tribune Weekly Book Review
