An account by an early German settler in America

My chosen account is that of an early German settler in the US. http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/7439/
Francis Daniel Pastorius was the founder of the first German settlement in Pennsylvania. He founded Germantown, a gateway for latter German immigrants into the US. The account describes his 'voyage' across the Atlantic and his initial impressions on arriving in Philadelphia in 1683. From reading the article I learned that he was a religious man, giving me the impression that intended to promote Christianity in the State as he quotes: 'to follow His holy teachings'. He describes the treacherousness of the journey including the poor conditions on board the ship, he quotes that the 'fish' was so 'rancid' that him and his crew 'could hardly eat half of them'.
The way he describes his first perceptions of the Natives I find very interesting. Firstly he refers to them as 'inhabitants' perhaps respecting the fact that they were there first; he then goes on to write: 'for if I were to call the former savages...'I should do great injustice to many of both varieties'; a sharp contrast to that of Englishman George Percy's account refering to them as savages. Whats more interesting is fact that he also quotes at the end of paragraph 9 after eating 'Turkey' with them he proceeds to write that 'we have nothing to fear from them', a much different attitude to that of the English consistently living in fear of attack.
