David Zeisberger
Author: Earl P. Olmstead
Publisher: Kent State University Press
ISBN: 9780873385688
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
David Zeisberger: A life among the Indians offers the unique perspective of a Moravian missionary who lived and worked for sixty-three years among the Iroquois and Delaware nations in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Upper Canada. Earl P. Olmstead's narrative draws on thousands of pages of Zeisberger's own diaries, some of which are translated here for the first time. The diaries offer insights into the role of wampum in tribal government, problems resulting from the mass Euro-American western migration, and incidents of duplicity on the parts of both the American government and Native American nations. Of particular interest are Zeisberger's descriptions of Native American life in the years surrounding the French and Indian War and the American Revolution and the effects of these conflicts on the nations that lived in Ohio Country.

These eight reports by white settlers held captive by Indians gripped the imagination not only of early settlers but also of American writers through our history.
