Ed by Samuel Urlsperger. Translated by Dr. George Fenwick Jones and others. Vol 1-18 (1733-1760). Vol. 18 (1995) is described below. #1531-1548 In 1731 all remaining Protestants, a total of 21,475 people, were driven from Salzburg (now in Austria) by an Edict of Expulsion issued 31 Oct 1731 by Roman Catholic Archbishop Leopold von Firmian. Those without land were given eight days to leave; those with land were given one to three months following the forced sale of their goods. These Protestant emigrants, known to us today as Salzburgers, were primarily Lutheran. Several hundred of them settled in Georgia in 1734, and the Detailed Reports give translated accounts of the affairs of the Georgia Salzburger settlers for the period 1733-1760. The complete list of all 21,475 Lutheran Expellees is given in #1877. This is an important primary source for students of Germanic genealogy in America's South, for colonial historians generally, and for all others interested in 18th century Lutheran affairs. These eighteen volumes offer a firsthand account of the daily lives of some of Georgia's earliest, most extraordinary, and most industrious settlers.

GOOD OLD TIMES or Grandfather's Struggles for a Homestead

Elijah Kellogg

Young Donn Fendler, twelve years old and a Boy Scout from Rye, New York, thought the few steps down from the rocky summit of Mt. Katahdin would take him to his waiting father and brothers. He did not know he was about to begin a journey that would bring him close to death. Fighting off hallucinations, he crawled and stumbled on bleeding numbed feet for days along a stream he knew would lead downhill to civilization. He had no equipment and only a few berries and water for sustenance. His shoes and clothing became torn and lost. Here is a tale of excitement and inspirations, made all the more exhilarating because it was lived by a real person.

1,120 pp. 100+ illus, maps, prints, portraits and graphs; signatures of early settlers; index. 1996 (1904). 
This is the classic source for the history of Wethersfield, and belongs in every library with Connecticut material. 
It contains hundreds of compiled genealogies extending over thousands of individuals. Many of Wethersfield's early settlers later went on to settle in or establish towns in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. This wide geographic coverage coupled with the thoroughness of Stiles' work make this one of the major sources of colonial-era genealogical and historical research.
