Album Info:
"The ruins of old Frederica remind us of the grim struggle for empire in the southeast more than 250 years ago. The main contenders were those ancient rivals, Spain and Great Britain. They both claimed the land between St. Augustine and Charleston. But Spain was a waning power in this part of North America while Great Britain was embarked upon a vast empire stretching from Maine to Carolina. As a buffer along its southern frontier, Britain planted the colony of Georgia - the last of the orginal 13 and the first since the founding of Pennsylvania by Quakers half a century earlier - in the territory below the Carolinas."
