Album Info:
"Spain saw the Georgia settlements as a threat to its interest in Florida. Spoiling for a fight, Oglethorpe returned to England in 1737 to raise troops for the war he knew was coming. A year later he was back in Georgia at the head of a 630-man regiment of British regulars, styled the 42d Regiment of Foot (Oglethorpe's). It was formed from a few hundred troops from Gibralter and most of the privates of a standing regiment in England, the 25th Foot."

What a place it must have been to be stationed at in those times! No air conditioning - but what a view :-)
