British Georgia Letters Home 1736-1738: An Invaluable Chronicle of Early Colonial Life

The British colony of Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe, a philanthropist and reformer who envisioned the colony as a refuge for the poor and oppressed. The early years of the colony were difficult, as the settlers struggled to adapt to the unfamiliar environment and defend themselves from attacks by Native Americans. However, the colony eventually flourished, and by the time of the American Revolution, Georgia was a thriving agricultural and commercial center.

I am writing to you from the colony of Georgia, where I have been living for the past two years. I am happy to report that I am well and that I am beginning to feel at home in this new land. The climate here is much milder than in England, and the soil is very fertile. I have been able to grow a variety of crops, including corn, wheat, and vegetables. I have also raised some livestock, including cattle, pigs, and chickens.

I am living in a small village with a few other settlers. We have built a church and a schoolhouse, and we are beginning to establish a sense of community. We are all working hard to make Georgia a success, and we are confident that we will succeed.

I know that you are all worried about me, but I want to assure you that I am ng well. I am healthy and happy, and I am making a good life for myself in Georgia. I hope that you will all be able to join me here someday.
