Baine, Rodney Montgomery
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Professor Rodney M. Baine was a distinguished 18th century scholar and teacher in the English Department at the University of Georgia.
James Oglethorpe was a visionary, social reformer, and military leader. He conceived of and implemented his plan to establish the colony of Georgia. It was through his initiatives in England in 1732 that the British government authorized the establishment of its first new colony in North America in more than five decades. Later that year, he led the expedition of colonists that landed in Savannah early in 1733. Oglethorpe spent most of the next decade in Georgia, where he directed the economic and political development of the new colony, defended it militarily, and continued to generate support and recruit settlers in England and other parts of Europe.
