Bücher von Ben Marsh

The eighteen volumes of Detailed Reports on the Salzburger Emigrants Who Settled in America contain the diaries and letters of Lutheran pastors who ministered to the Salzburgers, German-speaking Protestant refugees, in Georgia. They offer insight into daily life in colonial Georgia.

Ranging from Georgia's founding in the 1730s until the American Revolution, Marsh's history tells a complex story of narrowing opportunities for women as the colony evolved toward stability in the face of sporadic warfare, changes in government, land speculation, and the arrival of slaves and immigrants in growing numbers.
