5.0 out of 5 starsA region thoughtfully brought to life
By Steven E. Sanderson on June 17, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is a great testament to the importance of regional history and publishing. Setting Coastal Georgia in the orbit of the Caribbean is convincing and valuable. Dr. Pressly writes with authority across the wide range of empire and commerce, from the deerskin trade to indigo and rice. He compares Savannah with Charleston in enlightening ways and brings the struggles of colonial life into perspective. A fine study of historical political economy.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Refreshingly new look at the early economy and life of Colonial Georgia- highly recommended
By T. phillips on December 17, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Pressly focuses on the development of the economic life of early Georgia and gives us many interesting charts,graphs, maps,and images that are very helpful.

Pressly gives us what I would call a British viewpoint of Ga looking from the outside in, maybe because he has a doctorate from Oxford.

Pressly gives us a clear breakdown of the geography of Ga and how the different regions have a totally different economic flavor. There is a vast difference in the economy and social life of the "Up Country" areas such as Augusta which is dominated by the Indian deerskin traders and dirt farmers and the rice and indigo farming in the coastal areas which is more dominated by large plantations and the planter elite.

Pressly shows us how the coastal areas develop their economy with rice and indigo as opposed to the skin trading in Augusta. He develops in detail how the slave trade develops in Ga and he gives us many statistics and charts on all these subjects. He shares the very ugly details of the importation of slaves and the development of the slave trade in Ga.

p.132--"It (Slavery) was a dirty business. Death was everywhere--on the ships bringing in the "New Negroes", at the Lazaretto at Tybee, in the holding pens where the sick and weak gave up on life--."

He gives us a clear overview of how the ships move back and forth to Africa to England to The Sugar Islands to the American Colonies and especially to Ga and S C, He draws clear contrasts and differences between Ga and the other colonies especially S C.

One of the main areas he develops is how Ga becomes a part of the overall Caribbean trading system within the British Empire which gives Savannah a Caribbean flavor.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA great book for Georgia History lovers.
By Edward H. Reynolds on October 4, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book gives a most thought provoking slant to the History of Georgia. Paul Pressly spent a great deal of time delving into many varied sources for his information, and his weaving together of all his facts made, for me, some most interesting and thought provoking reading.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent work
By Robert Davis Jr. on March 10, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book represents one of the too few decent works on colonial Georgia, the best book on the topic since Harold Davis' The Fledgling Province. Here a start is made on the real significance over the legend of colonial Georgia.
