The author draws on a range of primary sources, including Heckewelder's own writings and letters, as well as the diaries and letters of other Moravian missionaries. The book also explores Heckewelder's important contributions to the study of Native American languages and cultures, including his work on the Delaware language and his efforts to promote peaceful relations between Native Americans and European settlers. Overall, Life of John Heckewelder is a fascinating and informative account of a remarkable man who played a significant role in the history of the American frontier.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
