Using original diaries; minutes; reports; and correspondence in the Moravian Archives in North Carolina; the Records of the Moravians among the Cherokees series provides a rare account of daily life among the Cherokees throughout the nineteenth century. Although written by missionaries; the records provide keen insight into Cherokee culture; society; and customs.Volume 3; spanning the years 1805 to 1810; chronicles the arrival of John and Anna Rosina Gambold to the mission. Anna Rosina proved dedicated to the education of Cherokee children; and the mission took on a new life and character. The Gambolds soon won the people’s affection and respect; and Chief Chuleoa; who at first opposed the mission; became their friend. These years also witnessed the tragic death of James Vann; the Moravians’ benefactor among the Cherokees; and the mission’s first successful baptism of a Cherokee into the Moravian Church.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful bookBy Misung KimChanju Mun introduced in this wonderful book how Korean celibate monks initiated Purification Buddhist Movement; 1954-1970 and successfully restored celibate monasticism from Korean Buddhism Japanized during their colonial period; 1910-1945. Readers might vividly understand negative and positive aspects of the movement in contemporary Korean Buddhism from the perspective of orthopraxy; not orthodoxy. I strongly recommend you to read this book and outline current Korean Buddhism.
