Description

This vigorous account of the southern frontier is the primary to present a detailed vital analysis of the 1733-49 period right through which Georgia served as a British military buffer colony between Spanish-dominated Florida and British-held South Carolina. Primarily an army history, British Drums at the Southern Frontier also emphasizes frontier politics and Indian diplomacy. Since James Oglethorpe, first as Georgia’s civil leader and later as a British general, implemented–and continuously designed–Britain’s imperial strategy at the southern frontier, his character and his political, diplomatic, and army activities are subjected to near scrutiny.
