Incomplete. This book was a historical and promotional guide for the persecuted, displaced group of Protestants from Salzburg, Austria. The Georgia Salzburgers, a group of German speaking Protestant colonists, founded the town of Ebenezer in what is now Effingham County, Georgia. Arriving in 1734, the group received support from King George II of England and the Georgia Trustees after they were expelled from their home in the Catholic principality of Salzburg. In 1731 Count Leopold von Firmian, the Catholic archbishop and prince of independent Salzburg, issued the edict of Expulsion, forcing twenty thousand Protestants from their homes. Pastor Samuel Urlsperger of Augsburg (in present day Germany) requested help from King George II. George, a German Duke and a Lutheran, sympathized with the Salzburgers and offered them a place in his Georgia colony. About 300 Salzburgers, under the leadership of Pastors Johann Martin Boltzius and Israel Gronau, accepted the invitation. The two Lutheran pastor diary's are included in the Samuel Urlsperger's tracts. The first group of Salzburgers sailed from England to Georgia in 1734 where they met James Oglethorpe, the founder of the Georgia colony. Oglethorpe assigned the Salzburgers a location 25 miles up the Savannah River in a low lying area on Ebenezer Creek. Subsequent ships brought the rest of the original exiled Salzburgers. By early 1736 the Salzburgers were given a new site by Oglethorpe on the high bluffs above the Savannah River. The new settlement was called "New Ebenezer." By 1752 the Salzburgers expanded northward and established the Bethany settlement as well as three other minor settlements. The Salzburger community grew to around 1,200 people and covered about twenty-five square miles before the American Revolution. Seller ID: 31078 Subject: Americana David A.
