The Moravian Journals of Georgia, 1734-1737: From Herrnhut to
Savannah contains the translated journals of four Moravians who
traveled to and lived in the British colony of Georgia between 1734
and 1737. Three of the journal authors were leading figures in the
Moravian Church either at the time or in later years: August
Gottlieb Spangenberg, David Nitschmann, (Bishop), and Johann
Töltschig. The fourth journal author, Andreas Dober, was the
brother of a Moravian church leader and himself circulated amongst
the leadership of the Moravians for most of his life. The journals
contain a myriad of information and perspectives on a variety of
topics: early Georgia history; Moravian theology and practices;
European riparian and transatlantic travel; landscape and
geographical descriptions of the Georgia colony; linguistic
information about eighteenth-century German word usages, syntax,
and spellings, as well as German to English phonetics; and the
experiences of other leading transatlantic figures of the era,
including James Edward Oglethorpe and John and Charles Wesley. The
edition includes a brief introduction explaining the context of the
expedition, short profiles of each of the settlers, longer profiles
of the four journal authors, and annotations, maps, and other
elements to enhance the reader’s understanding of the journals.
