Description: The diary is the official record of the Moravian mission at Fairfield in western Upper Canada. It was founded in 1792 by six Moravian missionaries and 150 Delaware natives who had been driven out of their lands in the United States. The settlement continued until American troops burned it down during the War of 1812. As a record of the early history of Upper Canada, "it is a work with few competitors," wrote editor Linda Sabathy-Judd, who translated it from the original German.
