Excerpt from The Moravian Indian Mission on White River: Diaries and Letters, May 5, 1799, to November 12, 1806; Translated From the German of the Original Manuscript Several circumstances pointed to Dr. Lawrence Henry Gipson as the logical choice for editor. He had served as professor of history and political science at Wabash Col lege from 1911 to 1924 and was familiar with the Indiana locale and its history. AS the present head of the depart ment of history and government at Lehigh University at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he has available the records of the Moravian Church, which are deposited in the new archives building on the campus of the Moravian College and Theological Seminary at Bethlehem. His consent to undertake the task of assembling, checking, supplement ing, and notating the materials collected by Mr. Brady lays all who are interested in the history of this region under great obligation to him and his associates.
