OGLETHORPE SURVEYING THE SITE OF SAVANNAH
German Protestants
In the next year after Oglethorpe planted the settlement a band of sturdy German Protestants arrived. These settlers built their homes to the north of Savannah, and called the colony "Ebenezer," which means "the Lord hath helped us." Between these two settlements a band of pious Moravian immigrants founded a colony. Then followed the settlement of Augusta, far up the Savannah River and well out among the Indians, which served as a sort of outpost.
Highlanders
To these were added a colony on the Altamaha River. This colony was settled by a company of brave Highlanders from Scotland.
OGLETHORPE'S STRONGHOLD
Standing on a bold rocky bluff overlooking a beautiful bay, it guarded the entrance to Frederica
The Wesleys come
In the meantime, Oglethorpe had gone to England, but he soon returned with more than two hundred English and German immigrants, who came to Georgia to better their condition. With these immigrants came John and Charles Wesley, who were soon to awake all England with a revival of religion.
