The Peter Leibundgutt Journal

Lois Ann Mast

  • 900


Amishman Peter Leibundgutt/Livengood (d. 1826) kept an interesting financial journal of personal and business transactions between 1758 and 1824. A weaver, Peter is thought to be the first Amishman to go by Conestoga wagon across the Allegheny Mountains to settle in what is now Elk Lick, Somerset Co., Pa. This journal is transcribed here along with an introduction, a listing of Peter's descendants for three generations (Beachy, Breneisen, Fike, Forney, Haag, Hardman, Kepple, Miller, Saylor, and Yoder). (118pp. index. Masthof Press, 1991.)

A good look at what life was like back then.
The business transactions in this book, when studied, help to pinpoint when Peter Livengood came to the Casselman River valley settlement. They also provide significant insight about life in those days and the interdependence among individuals living in the settlement. Lois Ann Mast did those who study the Casselman River valley settlement a fine service by publishing this material.
