Samuel Urlsperger collected and edited these writings into the \u003ci\u003eUrlsperger Reports \u003c\/i\u003eprinted at Orphanage Press, Halle, Germany, from 1735 to 1760. The original German publication, \u003ci\u003eAusführliche Nachricht von den saltzburgischen Emigranten, \u003c\/i\u003eis available through the Internet Archive, but this English-language translation has not been available online until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the mid-eighteenth century, Samuel Urlsperger of the Lutheran Ministry in Augsburg edited the German edition of the \u003ci\u003eDetailed Reports\u003c\/i\u003e after having distributed the many reports to the faithful in Germany. He made major deletions for both diplomatic and economic reasons and suppressed proper names. His son, Johann August Urlsperger, succeeded him. He took even greater liberties with the text, deleting large sections and rearranging others. The English version, translated and edited by George Fenwick Jones, a German scholar, restores the deleted sections and the proper names and provides the original sequencing of the material. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eDetailed Reports\u003c\/i\u003e offer insight into daily life in colonial Georgia and provide precious details and vignettes on subjects that receive less attention in other sources, notably African Americans, women, silk production, and the cost of goods in a frontier colony. The \u003ci\u003eReports\u003c\/i\u003e are an underutilized resource for the study of this period and an unparalleled source for the evolution of a rural community during the early years of the colony.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Georgia Open History Library has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
