United States, 39.76, -98.5Carr, Patrick1782-08-11Letter dated August 11, 1782 from Capt. Patrick Carr to Georgia Governor John Martin. Carr reports about groups of men committing robberies and murders in the frontier area of Burke County. These crimes and fear of Indian attacks have caused many settlers to abandon the area, including the Ogeechee settlement. Only Galphin's settlement in the Old Town remains populated through force. He asks for guidance as to how he should proceed.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc271engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Telamon Cuyler, box 38F, folder Martin 21a, document 01.Indians of North America--Claims againstGeorgia--Politics and government--1775-1865[Letter], 1782 Aug. 11, Silver Bluff, Georgia to Govorner [sic] John Martin, Georgia / Patrick CarrText
