Excellent historical novel about Oglethorpe and the founding of the Georgia colony. The colony, est. in 1733 as a buffer between South Carolina, mainly Charleston, and the Indians and Spanish in Florida. England at the time had overfilled debtor's prisons, and this effort was an attempt by Oglethorpe to give basically good people, many of whom were imprisoned for little cause, a second chance. Exciting and fast moving novel.
