Northkill

Drawn into the savage clashes of the French and Indian War, Jakob Hochstetler faces an impossible choice, and the irreversible consequences. In 1738 Jakob Hochstetler and his family arrived in America, seeking sanctuary from religious persecution in Europe and the freedom to live and worship according to their Anabaptist beliefs. Along with other members of their church, they settled in the Northkill Amish Mennonite community on the Pennsylvania frontier between civilization and wilderness and built a home near Northkill Creek.
