Quaker scholar Joseph Walton compiled an excellent record of the discourse between the colonists and the various native nations during the colonial period in the Mid-Atlantic from primary sources. Conrad Weiser's interactions are the focus as the proprietors sought westward movement while maintaining the peace, This book follows the Indian agent from his arrival at Tulpehocken until his death and is an excellent reference for the various natives encountered, the treaties negotiated, and the political intrigue between colonies and officials. Weiser's friendship with Shikellamy was key to the peace, but upon his passing, Weiser found it harder to guide events. Regardless, he was always respected by all parties involved. Originally published in 1900, Walton's work was the first full-length biographical work on Conrad Weiser, surpassing the prior family history written by a Weiser descendant, Clement Zwingli Weiser, in 1876. Arthur Graeff and Paul A. W. Wallace used Walton's work in their biographies written half a century later. Walton's approach provides more direct quotations of the primary sources versus the interpretations later written by Graeff and Wallace.

They range from New York in the Roaring Twenties through the horror of the Second World War and its aftermath to the night-life of Bangkok in the 1990s.

For those wrongly accused and in desperate need, there is one last hope for justice. That Conrad will cast his eye upon their case.

Excerpt from Conrad in Quest of His Youth: An Extravagance of Temperament I speak, of course, only for myself, but there is no doubt to my mind that Conrad in Quest of His Youth is the best sentimental journey that has been written in this country since the publication of the other one; so gay it is, so sad, of such an alluring spirit, so fine a temper. I know scarcely a novel by any living English man except a score or so of Mr. Hardy's, that I would rather have written. I am not certain.
