Excerpt from Notes and Observations on the Pine Lands of Georgia (1801), And, Entertainment for a Winter's Evening (1750) The poem holds up to ridicule the celebration of a Masonic festival in a church; the procession to the place of assemblage; the sermon, the adjournment to a tavern, and the junketing which followed, being the subject matter; the author considering the use of the church for such a meeting as entirely unwarranted.

In August 1753, four colonists and their boat crew set out on a potentially dangerous passage of "discovery and observations" along Georgia's barrier islands from Savannah southward as far as the St. Johns River in Spanish-held Florida. Journal of a Visit to the Georgia Islands is a record of that trip, and although unsigned, internal evidence points directly to prominent Georgia entrepreneur Jonathan Bryan (1708-1788) as the author. His companions were the famous cartographer William G. De Brahm and South Carolina planters William Simmons and John Williamson. Traveling by day, hunting for food and camping on shore at night, the brave little band endured a battering by stormy seas and undoubtedly vicious attacks by nocturnal insects. However, the author was not deterred from appreciating the wilderness and its beauty. His comments on the waterways, the deplorable condition of coastal fortifications, and his assessment of the splendid timber resources and the fertile land for agriculture and for raising livestock make the document tantamount to a field report. As our only known legacy of the trip, this previously unpublished journal is unique in the annals of Georgia's colonial history.

Georgia, Britain’s thirteenth and last American colony, played an important part in America’s early history. Founded as a debtors’ colony and later staunchly loyal to the King, much of Georgia colony’s efforts were spent protecting Britain’s economic and political interests. This text, which supports national and state social studies curricula, covers the key historical figures and events in Georgia’s colonial history. Readers will relive important battles, learn about the colony’s social and economic climate, and understand the reluctant role Georgia played in America’s fight for independence. Maps, primary sources, and historical artwork support the information-rich text.

Like subsequent European visitors - Chastellux, Chateaubriand, the Duc de la Rochefoucauld, De Tocqueville, Dickens, and Anthony Trollope - Kimber's point of view remains that of an outsider.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
