Description
-
In his memoir, Nicholas Garrison describes his early years as well as his early experience as a sailor when he was overtaken by sin and lived only an "outward appearance of piety." In his life, he met with prominent Moravians like Brothers Spangenberg and Count Zinzendorf. He recounts his conversion experience as he got close to the Brethren. He also narrates his experience as a prisoner and how he enjoyed the Lord's protection amid the difficult experiences. Garrison was the captain of the Irene that transported Moravian missionaries to and from Europe to America and the Eastern West Indies. He ended his life in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Another brother or sister finished his memoir recounting his last days and remembering his service to the Lord.
