William Penn's firsthand account of his 1677 travels in Holland and Germany visiting Quaker congregations and preaching his message of religious toleration. This document is historically significant for understanding Penn's early years, before he obtained the charter for Pennsylvania in 1681, as well as for understanding the reasons for later German-speaking migration to the New World.
