The story of a man forgotten in Germany but not in America.
In the summer of 1709, a woman in a Württemberg village died during her fifteenth pregnancy. Her eldest son was thirteen years old. Three years later, he was living among the Mohawk.
In America, Conrad Weiser is a historical figure schools, forests, and entire regions in Pennsylvania bear his name. In Germany, he is almost unknown. Yet he was one of the key architects of colonial North America: an interpreter, a diplomat a man who, for more than thirty years, stood between the Iroquois Confederacy and the British colonial government.
Thirty years after his death, George Washington stood at his grave and said:
"This departed man rendered many services to his country in a difficult time. Posterity will not forget him."
