Summary
"John Heckewelder was one of the most active and observant American travellers in the eighteenth century. His extensive journeys through our eastern woods in the service of the Moravian Church and, at times, of the government of the United States, have been preserved for us in a number of superb travel journals. Hitherto these either have lain unseen in manuscript collections or, if published, have appeared disconnectedly, so that few readers have suspected how engrossing they are and how illuminative of our early history when read as a continuous narrative."

Summary
Author, Gerald Studer, is a Mennonite minister. Christopher Dock (1698-1771) emigrated to the American colonies sometime before 1714. He was a school teacher and a farmer in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. He was also a religious man. It is assumed that he was Mennonite, but this is not confirmed. He introduced methods of teaching children which were less stringent than typical education at that time , placing importance on the use of persuasion, discussion, and positive peer pressure. He wrote about how students should be taught as well as rules of behavior for children.
