The Moravians in Georgia 1735 to 1740 is a historical book written by Adelaide L. Fries. The book covers the period between 1735 and 1740, when a group of Moravian missionaries arrived in Georgia, USA, with the aim of establishing a mission to the Native Americans. The book provides a detailed account of the Moravians' experiences in Georgia, including their interactions with the Native Americans, their struggles to establish a mission, and their eventual departure from the colony. Fries draws on a variety of primary sources, including journals, letters, and official documents, to provide a rich and detailed narrative of the Moravians' time in Georgia. The book explores the challenges the Moravians faced, including language barriers, cultural differences, and political tensions with the colonial authorities. It also examines the impact of the Moravians on the Native American communities they encountered, and the ways in which their mission influenced the development of the colony.Overall, The Moravians in Georgia 1735 to 1740 is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known chapter in American history. It provides a valuable insight into the experiences of the Moravian missionaries, and sheds light on the complex relationships between European colonizers, Native Americans, and the colonial authorities in the early years of the Georgia colony.Nitschmann and Korte at once went ashore to report their arrival to Secretary Verelst, and on Monday a house was rented, and the twenty-five colonists and Jonas Korte moved into it, to wait for the sailing of Gen. Oglethorpe's ship, the General having offered them berths on his own vessel. The General was out of town when they reached London, but called on Monday evening, and showed them every kindness, -- Oglethorpe is indeed our good friend, and cares for us like a father.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
