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 Wurttembergers 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.
