They also built 42 parishes in a 22-mile swath that has been called "the most concentrated ethnic rural settlement in America." More than a century later, this land--Catholic and Protestant alike--is still dominated by its historic competencies. In a time when the social fabric of America shows a disturbing fray, photographer Eric Albrecht has begun recording the life of this remarkable and resilient community. God's Country, with text by John Baskin, is a profound photographic journey through a culture that offers a remarkable oasis of order and custom in a disorderly time. 176 pages. 160 photographs.
