Excerpt from David Zeisberger's History of Northern American Indians
The lad soon became interested in the study of the Dela ware Indian language among the natives Of that tribe living along the Susquehanna, and at once showed proficiency. Ap preciating his talent, the fathers of the Moravian Church deter mined to send the young man to Europe, that in the best univer sities he might secure his training. He went as far as New York. There, just as his ship was to sail, he pleaded with tears and on his knees to be allowed to return to the woods Of Penn sylvania and the school of the red men there. The words of the wise were overcome by those of the youth, and an earnest soul, as brave as it was earnest, was saved to a life Of unparalleled service and devotion.

Excerpt from David Zeisberger's History of Northern American Indians
The History of the Northern American Indians herewith made public by The Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society appeared originally in the regular Quarterly publications of the Society for January and April, 1910. The unique interest and value presented in this manuscript of David Zeisberger is such that the members of the Publication Committee of the Society felt they could in no way better subserve the purpose of the Society than by producing this historical material for its patrons and the general public. Some two years ago the Society learned of the vast and rich storehouse of original manuscripts preserved by the Moravian Church at its national headquarters in Bethlehem, Pa. Visits by members of the Ohio Society to Bethlehem revealed the extent of the historical lore there on deposit. Concerning the records preserved in the Moravian Library at Bethlehem, an article by Prof. Hulbert appeared in the Quarterly of The Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society for April, 1909, Volume XVIII, page 199. Much of the material in this library consists of the journals, diaries and records of the Moravian missionaries to the American Indians, recounting their indefatigible and self-sacrificing labor among the copper-colored savages of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Michigan, and even Canada. These recitals for thrilling romance, religious devotion and incomparable privation are second only to the Relations of the Jesuit Fathers.
Perhaps the Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society never rendered a more valuable service, in its purpose to secure and preserve original historical data, than it has rendered in the present publication. The Zeisberger Indian History is more than a contribution at first hand to early Ohio chronicles; it not only throws new light upon the character and customs of the aborigines, but it imparts such an additional fund of knowledge to the period in question that it gives in no slight degree a new coloring to some phases of previously accepted history.

This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of North American Indians in the late 18th century, as observed by a dedicated missionary who lived among them for decades.
