Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book describes how the Moravians in eighteenth-century America---a group of Christian missionaries arising from the Protestant Reformation---attempted to convert Native Americans in Ohio to Christianity and European culture to "civilize" them. The book chronicles the travels of these missionaries as they ventured into Ohio and set up missions to impart their religious and cultural values on Native American tribes, most notably the Delaware, with mixed results. Through accounts of these missionaries' firsthand experiences, hardships, and successes, the author paints a vivid picture of the challenges and complexities of cultural interaction and religious conversion in the American frontier. The book sheds light on the motivations and beliefs of both the missionaries and the Native Americans, offering insights into the dynamics of cultural exchange and the efforts to reshape indigenous communities during a tumultuous period in American history.
