The Early History of the Lutheran Church in Georgia

History & Biography

“Hitherto unpublished and available only in typescript copies, Winde’s study describes a German religious community’s struggle for survival on the Southern colonial frontier. Based on careful archival research and grounded in a critical reading of the sources, his book remains indispensable for scholars of colonial Georgia. Expertly edited and translated by Russell Kleckley, Winde’s book is a valuable addition to scholarship on German settlements in British America.”
