It's hard to believe that Hollywood hasn't yet discovered Zeisberger, for his life contains all the elements of a great movie: a main character who is larger than life, war, gruesome scenes of massacre and death, hair's-breadth escapes, catastrophe, and devotion to a noble but doomed cause. Olmstead's meticulous research shows through in this book. Though largely sympathetic to his subject, he does not hesitate to point out Zeisberger's character flaws and occasional errors in judgment. This book contains only the first 3/4 or so of Zeisberger's life story, the remainder can be found in Olmstead's Blackcoats Among the Delaware. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Detailed research and thoughtful insights make David Zeisberger: A Life among the Indians a valuable study of Indian-Colonist relations in eighteenth-century British North America. Judicious in approach and compassionate without being polemical or sentimental, Olmstead brings to life the story of this Moravian missionary to the Eastern Woodland Indians. This volume, in combination with the author's Blackcoats Among the Delaware, merits acceptance as the standard work about Zeisberger." Philip Weeks, author of Farewell, My Nation: The American Indians and the United States. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
