This book details the early years of the establishment of the colony of Georgia, a venture intended as a philanthropic exercise in social welfare provision and economic regeneration. Based on extracts from original documents, the book presents the minutes of the Trustees responsible for the management of the colony. Beginning in 1732 with the granting of the founding charter, these minutes provide a fascinating insight into the running of the colony in its earliest years. The documents reveal the discussions, agreements, appointments, and decisions of the Trustees as they grappled with the challenges of establishing a new settlement in the American wilderness. Included are issues of land ownership, the treatment of Native Americans, the importation of African slaves, and the generation of income. The book offers a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of Georgia, the American South, the British Empire, or the history of social welfare.
