Abstract:

The Dunkards are a peaceful, law-abiding religious sect who have been living near Winston-Salem for many generations. In 1749, the Dunkards left Germany and settled in Germantown, PA, later relocating to several other states, including North Carolina. Walker relates some of the Dunkards' religious practices.
