""The Moravians in Georgia 1735 to 1740"" is a historical book written by Adelaide L. Fries. The book explores the story of the Moravian Church's mission to Georgia in the mid-18th century. The Moravian Church, which originated in Europe, sent a group of missionaries to Georgia in 1735 to establish a mission to the Native Americans in the area.The book provides a detailed account of the Moravians' journey to Georgia, their interactions with the Native Americans, and their efforts to establish a mission. It also explores the challenges and difficulties the Moravians faced during their time in Georgia, including conflicts with other European settlers and the harsh living conditions.Throughout the book, Fries draws on primary sources such as diaries, letters, and official documents to provide a comprehensive and accurate account of the Moravians' mission to Georgia. The book also includes maps, illustrations, and photographs to help readers better understand the historical context and events.Overall, ""The Moravians in Georgia 1735 to 1740"" is a fascinating and informative book that sheds light on an important period in the history of the Moravian Church and the early colonization of Georgia.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.
