The Life And Times Of David Zeisberger: The Western Pioneer And Apostle Of The Indians is a biography written by Edmund De Schweinitz. The book follows the life of David Zeisberger, a Western pioneer and missionary who devoted his life to preaching the gospel to Native American tribes in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.The book begins by exploring Zeisberger's early life in Moravia, where he grew up in a religious community that emphasized missionary work. It then follows his journey to America, where he joined the Moravian Church's mission to the Native Americans.Throughout the book, De Schweinitz describes Zeisberger's interactions with various Native American tribes, including the Delaware, Mohican, and Iroquois. He also delves into Zeisberger's efforts to establish mission settlements, including Gnadenhutten and Salem, and his role in negotiating treaties between the Native Americans and the United States government.The book provides a detailed account of Zeisberger's life and work, drawing on a variety of primary sources, including Zeisberger's personal journals and letters. It also explores the broader historical context of the time, including the conflicts between Native American tribes and European settlers, and the impact of the American Revolution on both groups.Overall, The Life And Times Of David Zeisberger offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering missionary and the complex relationships between Native Americans and European settlers in the early years of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
