In 18th Century Ohio, New York & Pennsylvania. Rarely does a book come along that has the power to expand so immensely one's intimate knowledge of the culture and history of the Indians of America's Eastern Frontier as this account of Zeisberger's more than 60 year venture into the wilderness as a missionary among the Indians of the East. Many interesting stories of Indian history, manners and customs of everyday life in the Indian villages come to light through the pages of this book. This exceptional and intimate knowledge of the inner life of these first Americans is credited to Zeisberger and found nowhere else in the early literature. His stories of Indian medicinal remedies -- firsthand details of their ceremonies, food, culture and beliefs -- are among the only reliable record, and his able depictions both rare and accurate.
