Re: The Kiekemal Tale: Commissioners, Councillors and Colonists

April 9, 1757: no, she does not quote from a document there. She just says that this is when the dismissal happens.

One of these days, we should order a copy of the original April 3, 1757 document from the archives and see if we can get [personal profile] prinzsorgenfrei to help us read it! (Along with several other items I'm interested in.)

BTW, the format of the book is very scan unfriendly large, in case you’re wondering.

Gah! This is exactly what I was wondering and was going to ask. Hang onto it, then, I guess, and maybe someday I'll be in Germany and can pick it up and see if I can make it work with my fancy digitizing technology. (I don't trust the overseas mail enough to risk sending the only copy I've been able to find.) Or if another copy comes on the market for a reasonable price, I'll consider ordering it, now that we know it contains reams of data and won't just be tossed aside after a quick skim.
