This book tells the story of two generations of Pietist ministers sent from Halle, in Brandenburg Prussia during the eighteenth century, to the German communities of North America. In conjunction with their clerical office, these ministers provided medical services using pharmaceuticals and medical texts brought with them from Europe. Their practice is an example of how different medical markets and medical cultures evolved in North America.At the heart of the story is the Francke Orphanage, a famous religious and philanthropic foundation started in Halle in 1696. Pharmaceuticals from Halle were manufactured and sold throughout Europe as part of a commercial enterprise designed to support Francke’s charitable goals. Halle’s reputation for consistent product quality and safety soon spread to North America, where men and women became actively engaged in providing medical care to Lutheran and Reformed congregations along the east coast, mainly the backcountry of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. The story continues to about 1810, when Halle’s North American clergy had become independent from the motherhouse and American medical practice and education began to follow its own course.Wilson draws upon a large array of correspondence, trading ledgers, and daybooks in European and American archives. Through these records she enables us to see firsthand the experience of men and women as both patients and practitioners. The result is a rare glimpse into the world of German medicine and the pharmaceutical trade in eighteenth-century North America.

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.
