Lutheran Catechism (utheri Catechismus ӧfwersatt på American-Virginiske språket) in the Library of Congress collection

Luther’s Kleiner Catechismus was translated into the Munsee language by Johan Campanius Holm on his arrival in New Sweden (Pennsylvania) in 1643. It was unprinted until 1696 due to the decline in mission work among the Indians.
