"Wengert and Splitter are to be commended for the editing and annotating of these letters as much as for their translation."-L. DeAne Lagerquiest for Lutheran Quarterly
"With his Journals and the previous volumes of his letters, these offer a rich portrayal of colonial life."- L. DeAne Lagerquist for Lutheran Quarterly
This is the third volume of the translation of the correspondence of The Rev. H. M. Mühlenberg, which has never before been published in English. Rev. Mühlenberg was one of the seminal figures in the origins of the Lutheran Church in America, and a fascinating man in his own right.
Researchers interested in Colonial America, in early Lutheran affairs, and in the genealogy and social organization of German-speaking settlers in Pennsylvania in the 18th century will want to add this book to their library. Libraries with sections on any of the above will also want a copy of this scholarly limited-edition book.
