Book Overview

Friedensthal and Its Stockaded Mill: A Moravian Chronicle, 1749-1767 is a historical book written by William Cornelius Reichel in 1877. The book chronicles the early years of the Moravian settlement in Friedensthal, Pennsylvania, which was established in 1749. The Moravian community was known for its strict religious practices and dedication to education, and the book provides insight into their daily lives and struggles in the early years of settlement. The stockaded mill, which was built to provide food and supplies for the community, is a central focus of the book. Reichel draws on original documents and personal accounts to paint a vivid picture of life in Friedensthal during the mid-18th century.
