Old Salem is a restored 18th- and 19th-century village that is frequently compared to Colonial Williamsburg. Within two dozen blocks are over 90 restored and reconstructed buildings, including several that are open to the public as museums.Moravians, members of an early Protestant sect called the Unity of Brethren, derived their name from their homeland, Moravia, now part of the Czech Republic. Persecuted for centuries in their own land, the Moravians emigrated to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1740. Thirteen years later, they bought a 100,000-acre tract in the Carolina wilderness, which they called Wachovia. Salem, which was founded in this wilderness in 1766, became Wachovia's principal town. Today, the restored village stands near the downtown area of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.Walter Stone's pen-and-ink illustrations bring the Old Salem structures to life. Each of these illustrations is accompanied by a narrative that explains the structure's history. The illustrations and commentary combine to take the reader on a tour of one of North Carolina's most popular tourist destinations.

In colonial North Carolina, German-speaking settlers from the Moravian Church founded a religious refuge--an ideal society, they hoped, whose blueprint for daily life was the Bible and whose Chief Elder was Christ himself. As the community's demand for labor grew, the Moravian Brethren bought slaves to help operate their farms, shops, and industries. Moravians believed in the universalism of the gospel and baptized dozens of African Americans, who became full members of tightly knit Moravian congregations. For decades, white and black Brethren worked and worshiped together--though white Moravians never abandoned their belief that black slavery was ordained by God. Based on German church documents, including dozens of rare biographies of black Moravians, A Separate Canaan is the first full-length study of contact between people of German and African descent in early America. Exploring the fluidity of race in Revolutionary era America, it highlights the struggle of African Americans to secure their fragile place in a culture unwilling to give them full human rights. In the early nineteenth century, white Moravians forsook their spiritual inclusiveness, installing blacks in a separate church. Just as white Americans throughout the new republic rejected African American equality, the Moravian story illustrates the power of slavery and race to overwhelm other ideals.
