Description
-
Susanna Zeisberger recounts her birth in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and her move to Lititz, Pennsylvania, at the age of 16. She was called to a mission to the Indians, along with her husband, where they were attacked and held prisoners. The whole time, her faith was unwavering. She went back to Lititz in 1809. Her memoir ends in 1816 and her last years and final illness are described by a member of her Choir.
