Released from our Members-Only 2021 season:
In 1733, General James Oglethorpe established an experimental colony in the "New World" unlike any other. Inspired by the death of his friend Robert Castell in a debtor's prison, Oglethorpe sought to create a colony for England's "worthy poor" to create peaceful and mutually beneficial relationships with Native American tribes. In this program, historian Glen Kyle will explore the challenges, successes, and remarkable stories of the Georgia colony and its people.

I served in the U.S. Navy from 1965 to 1971, I was stationed on the USS Oglethorpe AKA 100, until it was decommissioned in the fall of 1968. I knew little of James Oglethorpe, only that the ship was named after Oglethorpe county Georgia. I have many good memories of the men I served with, and the countries and places this ship took us. Thank you for the great information that you shared.

Why do people not give his title? General James Oglethorpe, and his statue is in Savannah.

Thank you for a very interesting video. My husband lived in Savannah in the 50's and many of his family still live there. He lived across the street from Colonial Park Cemetery. He and his cousins would play there. I want to do more research on the Herb House/Pirates House. I'm very interested in what you said about it. I'm concerned about Savannah and the changes being made there. One observation, a lot of things talked about didn't "basically" happen, they happened.
