United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Blackburn, S.1795-04-10This document is a letter from General S. (?) Blackburn, in Elbert County, Georgia to Georgia Governor George Mathews (1787-1788, 1793-1796) in Augusta, dated April 10, 1795. This letter confirms the removal of a frontier station at Ward's Mill on the Tugaloo River, Georgia. Blackburn informs the governor that he has selected a location about six miles from Ward's Mill and half a mile from the Georgia boundary line for a new fortification. This new fortification, along with additional spies along the frontier, Blackburn surmises, will offer greater protection to the settlements along the upper Tugaloo River.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/jpegtcc365engMode 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 43, folder 05, document 01.BoundariesIndians of North America--Government relationsLetter, 1795 Apr. 10, Elbert [County, Georgia to Georgia Governor] George Mathews, Augusta / General S.
