Information on The Life and Diary of David Brainerd from the publisher:

Taken from Jonathan Edwards's edited versions of David Brainerd's 'Diary' and 'Journal', this compilation makes available a 'fairly complete' record of the self-denying life and strenuous labors of David Brainerd as he presented the gospel to American Indians.

Description of Philip E. Howard, author of The Life and Diary of David Brainerd:

Pioneer missionary to Indians, David Brainerd rode over 3,000 miles on horseback through the wilderness of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. His journal, kept during his travels, was edited by Jonathan Edwards after Brainerd's death in 1747. His accounts of setbacks, successes, and intense spiritual devotion have inspired believers ever since. This new edition includes a biographical sketch of Edwards by Philip E. Howard, Jr. 385 pages, softcover from Baker.
