Establishing the Colony of Georgia | Georgia Stories
What some people refer to as Oglethorpe's Folly, others think is a valuable outpost for the British crown. Only time will let us know the answer about what will become of Georgia. Turn on the television, and let's watch the Colonial Evening News. Imagine a television newscast from Savannah in 1734. Anchorman Jonathan Patrick from Williamsburg gives the overseas reports and colonial news from Philadelphia before introducing the feature story: the Georgia colony.
