The German sectarians of Pennsylvania : a critical and legendary history of the Ephrata Cloister and the Dunkers . brethren on theWissahickon, than he was visited by some of the reclusesfrom that locality, and almost immediately npon the com-pletion of the cabin he was joined by Michael Wohlfarth,who had just returned from his missionary tour among theGermans in North Carolina.
