A view of the town of Savanah, in the colony of Georgia, South Carolina, 1741, (c1880)
A view of the town of Savanah, in the colony of Georgia, South Carolina, 1741, (c1880). Savannah was the site chosen by General James Oglethorpe in 1733 for his colony of Georgia. A champion of the cause of the poor in debtors prisons, Oglethorpe had proposed the establishment of a colony in the New World where such people could begin a new life. In the event, few inmates from debtors prisons ever made it to Georgia, with most of the influx of settlers consisting of Scots, poor English tradesmen and refugees from religious persecution in Switzerland and Germany. From a print published at London in 1741. A print from Cassells History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume I, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880
