unusual facts about Gottlieb Priber


Gottlieb Priber

Because of his position against private property and his policy to provide refuge for runaway slaves and debtors in Cherokee territory, his surrender was demanded by the British authorities in 1739 and when on his way to New Orleans in 1743, he was caught by British-allied Creeks and handed over to the British colonial authorities, eventually dying under imprisonment in Frederica, Georgia.
