Bohemia (Czech Republic) -- Bibliography
The opinion has been expressed that John Lederer, the Virginia traveler,
was not an Austrian, as some surmise, but a Bohemian.[12] Lederer is by
no means an uncommon surname among Bohemians; moreover, there is evidence
that Bohemian exiles began settling in Virginia during the Thirty Years’
War.
[12] _The Discoveries of John Lederer, in three several marches from
Virginia to the west of Carolina, and other parts of the Continent_:
Begun in March, 1669, and ended in September, 1670. Together with a
General Map of the whole territory which he traversed. Collected and
translated out of Latine from his Discourse and Writings by Sir William
Talbot, Baronet. London. Printed by J. C. for Samuel Heyrick, at Grays
Inne-Gate in Holborn. 1672.
