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.
