About the author

Ezra Grumbine

1845–1923

A Pennsylvania doctor who also became a lively voice of local history and dialect writing, he brought everyday Pennsylvania German speech into print with humor and affection. His work preserves a rich slice of regional culture that might otherwise have faded away.
