Conrad Weiser, Pennsylvania's Indian Ambassador, was one of the world's greatest originals, a hot-headed, true-hearted, whimsical Jack-of-all-trades; a farmer and the owner of a tannery, one of the founders of Reading, Pennsylvania, a colonel on active service during the French and Indian War, the first President Judge of Berks County, a faithful husband and the father of fourteen children, a monk at Ephrata, a pillar of the Lutheran Church, a promoter of Moravian missions, a rebel in New York and a prisoner in an Albany jail, a hymn-writer, traveler, statesman, linguist, diplomat, and woodsman. That is Conrad Weiser in a nutshell.
