Ed by Samuel Urlsperger. Translated by Dr. George Fenwick Jones and others. Vol 1-18  (1733-1760). Vol. 18 (1995) is described below. #1531-1548    In 1731 all remaining Protestants, a total of 21,475 people, were driven from Salzburg (now in Austria) by an  Edict of Expulsion issued 31 Oct 1731 by Roman Catholic Archbishop Leopold von Firmian. Those without  land were given eight days to leave; those with land were given one to three months following the forced sale  of their goods. These Protestant emigrants, known to us today as Salzburgers, were primarily Lutheran.  Several hundred of them settled in Georgia in 1734, and the Detailed Reports give translated accounts of the  affairs of the Georgia Salzburger settlers for the period 1733-1760. The complete list of all 21,475 Lutheran  Expellees is given in #1877.    This is an important primary source for students of Germanic genealogy in America's South, for colonial  historians generally, and for all others interested in 18th century Lutheran affairs. These eighteen volumes  offer a firsthand account of the daily lives of some of Georgia's earliest, most extraordinary, and most  industrious settlers.

History

Univ of Georgia Pr

In 1731, the archbishop of Salzburg expelled twenty thousand Protestants who refused to abjure their religion. Three hundred of these emigrants accepted the invitation of the Georgia Trustees to settle in their new colony. The first Salzburger transport arrived in 1734 and was followed during the next seven years by three more. The Salzburgers names their colony Ebenezer. Based mainly on detailed journals and letters written by the Salzburgers’ pastor, Johann Martin Boltzius, this work describes the expulsion of the Salzburger emigrants, their journey to Georgia, the hardships they endured, and their eventual success in cattle raising, agriculture, lumbering, and silk culture and also includes details of the Swiss, Palatines, and Württembergers who joined them. Appended is a composite list of Ebenezer’s inhabitants in High German forms to facilitate genealogical research in European archives and correct errors in the version published by the Ebenezer Church.

This is the first comprehensive history of the German-speaking settlers who emigrated to the Georgia colony from Germany, Alsace, Switzerland, Austria, and adjacent regions. Known collectively as the Georgia Dutch, they were the colony's most enterprising early settlers, and they played a vital role in gaining Britain's toehold in a territory also coveted by Spain and France.
The main body of the book is a chronological account of the Georgia Dutch from their earliest arrival in 1733 to their dispersal and absorption into what was, by 1783, an Anglo-American populace. Underscoring the harsh daily life of the common settler, George Fenwick Jones also highlights noteworthy individuals and events. He traces recurrent themes, including tensions between the realities of the settlers' lives and the aspirations and motivations of the colony's trustees and supporters; the web of relations between German- and English-speaking whites, African Americans, and Native Americans; and early signs of the genesis of a distinctly new and American sensibility.
Three summary chapters conclude The Georgia Dutch. Merging new material with information from previous chapters, Jones offers the most complete depiction to date of Georgia Dutch culture and society. Included are discussions of religion; health and medicine; education; welfare and charity; industry, agriculture, trade, and commerce; Native-American affairs; slavery; domestic life and customs; the arts; and military and legal concerns.
Based on twenty-five years of research with primary documents in Europe and the United States, The Georgia Dutch is a welcome reappraisal of an ethnic group whose role in colonial history has, over time, been unfairly minimized.

In 1734 several hundred Lutherans who had been expelled from Salzburg (now Austria) arrived in colonial Georgia. Here they became some of Georgia's earliest, most extraordinary, and most industrious settlers. 
Dr. Jones' book details the daily lives of the settlers, masterfully mixing lively accounting of individual settlers with much dryer appendices which name all of the settlers and the ships in which they came. 
This classic source for early southern research has been out of print for some time, and is brought back into print here by Picton Press with a new exhaustive index.
