| Abstract | In 1731 many German Lutherans left Salzburg to settle in East Prussia and Lithuania rather than forsake their Protesant faith. In the following years many of these Salzburger Lutherans left Europe to settle in Georgia. The settlement was called Ebenezer. For the first few years it was a disaster with failed crops, low supplies, and rampant sickness and death. By 1738 the first gristmill was built, and the first sawmill in 1746. Through these mills the Salzburgers gained economic self-sufficiency. |
