Edited by C. Daniel Crews and Lisa D. Bailey

This new volume of edited church diaries and minute books kept by Moravian ministers covers a momentous period in North Carolina’s history—-the aftermath and recovery from the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Topics include how whites and blacks adjusted to new roles following the end of slavery, the tattered post-war economy, the renewed growth of the communities of Salem and Winston, and the incorporation of the town of Kernersville.

The volume contains a foldout map of Salem and Winston in 1876 and appendixes that record births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials.
