Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Conrad Weiser's Journal of a Tour to the Ohio, August 11 October 2, 1748
In 1729, he and his family, consisting of a wife and five young children, removed to Berks (then Lancaster) County, Pennsylvania, where a number of Weiser's countrymen had preceded them. The new homestead was a mile east of the present town of Womelsdorf, and became the centre of an extended hospitality both for Pennsylvania Germans and visiting Indians. When Reading was laid out Weiser was one of the com missioners for that purpose, building therein a house and store that are still standing.
