Using original diaries, minutes, reports, and correspondence in the
Moravian Archives in North Carolina, the "Records of the Moravians
among the Cherokees" series provides a rare account of daily life
among the Cherokees throughout the nineteenth century. Although
written by missionaries, the records provide keen insight into
Cherokee culture, society, and customs.
Volume 3, spanning the years 1805 to 1810, chronicles the
arrival of John and Anna Rosina Gambold to the mission. Anna Rosina
proved dedicated to the education of Cherokee children, and the
mission took on a new life and character. The Gambolds soon won the
people's affection and respect, and Chief Chuleoa, who at first
opposed the mission, became their friend. These years also
witnessed the tragic death of James Vann, the Moravians' benefactor
among the Cherokees, and the mission's first successful baptism of
a Cherokee into the Moravian Church.
