Thus, in the summer of the first mentioned year, he spent several months at Friedenshiitten, on the Susquehanna (Wyalusing, Bradford county, Pennsylvania), where the Moravian Indians had been recently settled in a body, after a series of most trying experiences, to which their residence on the frontiers and in the settlements of the Province subjected them, at a time when the inroads of the savages embittered the public mind indiscriminately against the entire race. This post he visited subsequently on several occasions, and also the town of Schechschiquanink (Sheshequin), some thirty miles north of Wyalusing, the seat of a second mission on the Susquehanna. “A new period in the life of Mr. Heckewelder opened with the autumn of 1771, when he entered upon his actual career as an evangelist to the Indians, sharing the various fortunes of the Moravian mission among that people for fifteen years, than which none perhaps in its history were more eventful. The well-known missionary David Zeisberger, having in 1768 established a mission among a clan of Monseys on the Allegheny, within the limits of what is now Venango county, was induced in the spring of 1770 to migrate with his charge to the Big Beaver, and to settle at a point within the jurisdiction of the Delawares of Kaskaskunk.” PART I.AN ACCOUNT OF THE HISTORY, MANNERS, AND CUSTOMS OF THEINDIAN NATIONS WHO ONCE INHABITED PENNSYLVANIA ANDTHE NEIGHBOURING STATES.PAGEINTRODUCTION BY THE EDITOR ..... viiDEDICATION ............. xviiINTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR ......... xxiiiCHAPTERI.
