Sheftall Diaries (1733 - 1808): Georgia's First Jewish Colonists

This primary source document was written by Benjamin Sheftall, one of the first 41 Jewish colonists of Georgia, and continued by his descendants. This research tool is invaluable in learning about America's Jewish colonial history in the South. The project was undertaken with permission of The University of Georgia's Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, repository of the Keith M. Read Collection of which the Sheftall Diaries is a part.
