In 1801 the Moravians, a Pietist German-speaking group from Central
Europe, founded the Springplace Mission at a site in present-day
northwestern Georgia. The Moravians remained among the Cherokees
for more than thirty years, longer than any other Christian group.
John and Anna Rosina Gambold served at the mission from 1805 until
Anna's death in 1821. The principal author of the diaries, Anna,
chronicles the intimate details of Cherokee daily life. This
edition of the diary includes the entire text in translation as
well as a critical apparatus, contextual introductory material, and
extensive notes. Rowena McClinton's translation from German script,
an archaic writing convention, makes these primary eyewitness
accounts available in English for the first time. These diaries
will be of immense value for understanding Cherokee culture and
history during the early nineteenth century and missionary efforts
in the South during this time. McClinton gained unlimited access to
the diaries and other supporting documents for the completion of
this project, published with the consent of the Moravian Church of
the Southern Province. Volume 1 includes diary entries from
1805-13, a preface, and an introduction. Volume 2 includes diary
entries from 1814-21, the editor's epilogue, and a names index and
a subject index for both volumes.
