Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Times of Jonathan Bryan: 1708-1788 South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, by nature and events, have been closely linked together, and their histories so interwoven, it would be impossible to write the biography of one who was born in South Carolina in 1708, and died in Georgia in 1788, whose services, first to the British Crown, and later in the cause of American Independence embraced fifty years of that period, without some description of the scenes in which he lived, and the men with whom he was associated. The first English colony landed in South Carolina near Port Royal in the year 1670. Settlements were made by several English gentlemen, who purchased the land from a company chartered by Charles II in 1663, under whose corporate authority North Carolina had been colonized. The second governor. Sir John Yeamans, carried with him, in 1671 fifty families of. colonists from Barbadoes, and nearly two hundred slaves. In this way slavery was introduced into South Carolina. This colony was strengthened by others, who, filled with the spirit of adventure and thrilled with enthusiasm by descriptions of the country, left the congested centres of civilization in the old world for. America, where freedom of conscience and opportunity, like stars of hope, beckoned them onward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
