Special thanks are due to Rev. A. Glitsch, Archivist at Herrnhut,
for courtesies extended while the author was examining the invaluable
collection of papers entrusted to his care, and also for his supervision
of the copying of such documents as were selected; to Mr. Isaac Beckett,
of Savannah, for information respecting the Moravian lands; to Mr. John
Jordan, of Philadelphia, for copies of deeds and other papers relating
to the settlement; to Mr. W. S. Pfohl, of Salem, for assistance with the
illustrations; and to Mr. John W. Fries for suggestion and inspiration
for the work, and the constant encouragement and sympathetic interest
without which the author's courage would have failed during the tedious
years of gathering material for the book, which is now presented
to those who may find in it something of explanation, something of
interest, concerning the Moravian settlement in Georgia, and the broader
history which the story touches on every side.
