James Oglethorpe was a significant figure in the eighteenth century and this biography is a chapter-by-chapter account of his life as a son of a secretive Jacobite family, a soldier who fought under two towering figures who were on Napoleon's list of the greatest generals, a reform-oriented political figure, the founder of Georgia, a philanthropist, an abolitionist, and a patron of the arts. He was a direct influence on several people who would formalize Britain's abolition movement (Hanna More and Granville Sharp to name only two). While Newton and Locke began the British Enlightenment in the late 1880s with paradigm-shifting scientific and political concepts, Oglethorpe put those ideas in motion on multiple fronts in England, on the Continent, and in America. He led a fascinating life, and his story is yet to be told with the richness it deserves and in the full breadth of its Enlightenment context. Two significant new contributions in the manuscript are an analysis of Oglethorpe's extensive library, sold at auction in 1788, and maps prepared by my associate Teri Norris that detail his travels in Europe and America.

James Edward Oglethorpe turned his back on Oxford University, his family's Jacobite schemes, and a career as courtier to a prince to settle as an English country squire. But history was not to let him stay unnoticed. As a member of Parliament in the eighteenth century, Oglethorpe fought for debtors? rights and prison reform, and when he gained them, volunteered to found a new colony in America. Under his direction, settlements were established, strong bonds were formed with the Creek Indians, and the colony of Georgia flourished. He guided it during its formative years and protected it during war with Spain. That alone should have assured Oglethorpe of his place in history...but as he learned, politics and fortune are fickle. In this captivating biography, Joyce Blackburn details the career and life of this gallant gentleman, hero, visionary, and patriot.
