Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Erection and Dedication of the Monument to Gen'l James Edward Oglethorpe, Vol. 7: Unveiled in Savannah, Ga;, November 23, 1910 On the 18th day of May, 1901, a charter was granted by the Superior Court of Chatham County to the Oglethorpe Monument Association. This Association was formed by six representatives each from the Georgia Society of Colonial Dames of America, the Sons of the Revolution, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Society of Colonial Wars. Its first meeting was held on Nov. 28, 1902, and the object of the Association was to combine the efforts of these four patriotic societies toward the raising of funds for the erection of a suitable memorial in Savannah to the memory of the truly great man who was the founder of our State. The moneys which some of the various societies had been raising separately, were turned into the common treasury of the Association, and increased in like manner from time to time until they amounted, in the year 1905, to approximately $5,000. In the summer of that year, at the request of the president of the Colonial Dames, the representatives from Chatham County in the Legislature took up the matter of securing State recognition and aid for the monument, and on July 12, 1905, a joint resolution was introduced in the House to provide for the erection of a monument. This resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations and having been more than once voted down in the committee, was finally reported back favorably on August 10,1905, with the recommendation that the sum of $15,000 be appropriated for the purpose, and the resolution received its second reading. Nothing further was done in regard to it at that session. During the next session, in the summer of 1906, the resolution met with a stormy and checkered career and was several times apparently hopelessly shipwrecked before gaining its final passage. Under resolution introduced in the House June 27,1906, Honorable Walter G. Charlton was invited to address a joint session of the General Assembly on the life and services of General Oglethorpe, and this address was delivered a short time afterward. On August 2, 1906, the bill carrying the appropriation of $15,000 for the monument came up for passage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ...June 2. The record of the entry of James Oglethorpe into Corpus Christi College, Oxford, is thus given by Harris: "1704, Jul. 9, term. S. Trin. Jacobus Oglethorpe, e C. C. C. 16. Theoph. f. Sti. Jacobi. Lond. Equ. Aur. filius natu minor." That is, In Trinity Term, July 9, 1704, James Oglethorpe, aged 16, youngest son of Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe, of St. James's, London, was admitted into Corpus Christi College. These statements do not harmonize with each other, or with several facts in the later history of Oglethorpe, and the matter of his name and the exact date of his birth have remained for many years in much doubt. When the monument to the memory of this distinguished man was erected in Savannah in 1910, the question was again brought up and earnestly discussed In order to determine it fully and with accuracy if possible, two independent investigations were made, --0ne by W. J. DeRenne, Esq., for the Monument Commission, and the other by Otis Ashmore in behalf of the Georgia Historical Society. The results of both these investigations agree, and the matter so long in doubt is now definitely and authentically cleared up and established, and the evidences given herewith. The following photographic copy of a certificate obtained by Mr. DeRenne from St. Martin-in-the-Fields is self-explana tory. From this it is clear that Oglethorpe's name was James Edward, and that he was born December 22, 1696. /Vithout knowing of Mr. DeRenne's efforts, Otis Ashmore, Corresponding Secretary of the Georgia Historical Society, took the matter up with the Lord Bishop of London with a view of obtaining a correct copy of the record of the births and baptisms of all the children of Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe, and with the Dean of...

Download or read book De Renne written by William Harris Bragg and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what is known today of Georgia history was preserved through the diligent efforts of a single family. From Wormsloe, their ancestral plantation near Savannah, the De Rennes built an extraordinary collection of books and manuscripts on the history of the state and the Confederacy, much of which is now housed at the University of Georgia and the Museum of the Confederacy. This book focuses on their efforts in the years 1827 through 1970, conveying the passion and purpose with which they pursued their avocation. William Harris Bragg has mined a vast array of archival sources to present this engaging narrative of the De Renne family. He tells how wealthy bibliophile and philanthropist G. W. J. De Renne and his wife, Mary, set the precedent for the family’s accumulation of historic material, how their son established the Wymberley Jones De Renne Georgia Library that bears his name, and how his children in turn expanded upon that tradition. The De Rennes also printed limited editions of primary historical materials beginning with the series known as the Wormsloe Quartos. Bragg’s account of three generations of the De Renne family vividly records their achievements as it reconstructs their life at Wormsloe and follows them in their travels around the world. It provides glimpses into the dynamics and behavior of one of Georgia’s oldest and most prominent families and the evolution of the southern aristocracy. The book draws on newly available material to expand significantly on Ellis Merton Coulter’s 1955 work, Wormsloe, and provides the most complete account to date of the De Rennes. Beyond the story of the De Renne family, Bragg also reveals much about the history of collecting and of the antiquarian book trade, as well as of the evolution of Georgia historical documentation. Appendix material includes genealogical tables and lists of collections and publications, making De Renne: Three Generations of a Georgia Family an invaluable source for all scholars and aficionados of southern history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The histories told about American Indian and European encounters on the frontiers of North America are usually about cultural conflict. This book takes a different tack by looking at how much Indians and Europeans had in common. In six chapters, this book compares Indian and European ideas about land, government, recordkeeping, international alliances, gender, and the human body. Focusing on eastern North America in the 18th century, up through the end of the Seven Years War in 1763, each chapter discusses how Indians and Europeans shared some core beliefs and practices. Paradoxically, the more American Indians and Europeans came to know each other, the more they came to see each other as different, so different indeed that they appeared to be each other's opposite. European colonists thought Indians a primitive people, laudable perhaps for their simplicity but not destined to possess and rule over North America. Simultaneously, Indians came to view Europeans as their antithesis, equally despicable for their insatiable greed and love of money. Thus, even though American Indians and Europeans started the 18th century with ideas in common, they ended the century convinced of their intractable differences. The 18th century was a crucial moment in American history, as British colonists and their Anglo-American successors rapidly pushed westward, sometimes making peace and sometimes making war with the powerful Indian nations-the Iroquois and Creek confederacies, Cherokee nation, and other Native peoples-standing between them and the west. But the 18th century also left an important legacy in the world of ideas, as Indians and Europeans abandoned an initial willingness to recognize in each other a common humanity so as to instead develop new ideas rooted in the conviction that, by custom and perhaps even by nature, Native Americans and Europeans were peoples fundamentally at odds.
