Thirty Thousand Miles with John Heckewelder was edited by Paul A. W. Wallace and Published by University of Pittsburgh Press in 1958. First Edition Hardcover with dustjacket, illustrated with photographs.

"John Heckewelder was one of the most active and observant American travelers in the eighteenth century. His extensive journeys through our eastern woods in the service of the Moravian Church and, at times, of the government of the United States, have been preserved for us in a number of superb travel journals.  Hitherto these either have lain unseen in manuscript collections or, if published, have appeared disconnectedly....From 1754 to 1813 Heckewelder's adventures are interwoven with the movements of the Moravian Indian mission. Like Chaucer's Knight, "Full worthy was he in his Lordes war."
