Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ohio Archaeological-and and Historical Publications, Vol. 19 The present volume reproduces the manuscript written fir German by the Moravian hero-missionary. The Reverend David. Zeisberger, at his mission home beside the Muskingum River, in Ohio, in the years 1779 and 1780. Though there is extant a most excellent biography of this? noble man. The Life and Times of David Zeisberger, by Bishop-Edmund De Schweinitz (Philadelphia, 1870), very little is popularly known of him. In the center of the old Black Forest of America, near New Philadelphia, Ohio, a half-forgotten Indian graveyard lies beside the dusty country road. You may count here several score of graves by the slight mounds of earth that were raised above them a century or so ago. At one extremity of this plot of ground an iron railing incloses another grave marked by a plain marble slab. The grave is David Zeisberger´s, - Moravian Missionary to Indians in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Canada for fifty active years, who was buried at this spot at his dying request, that he might await the Resurrection among his faithful Indians. His record is perhaps unequalled in point of length of service by the record of any missionary in any land. On a July night in 1726 a man and his wife fled from their home in Austrian Moravia toward the mountains on the border of Saxony, for conscience´ sake. They took with them nothing save their five-year-old boy, who ran stumbling between them, holding to their hands. The family of three remained in Saxony ten years.
