| The Salzburg Expulsion was a monumental event which sent shock waves around the world. |

| The following pages tell the tale of the Exulanten, those hearty, devout Salzburg exiles forced to leave their mountain homes and sometimes even sacrifice their children for their faith. |
| Please enjoy the travel through time! |
| Part of the saga includes a small book written by a rebellious compatriot which provided comfort and spiritual inspiration for the weary exiles. |

| It is the story of their long and harrowing journeys into the distant realms of East Prussia, Frankonia, Holland, America and elsewhere. |
| Its author was a previously banished salt miner named Joseph Schaitberger, and his story and that of his own family are included here. |
