Image of an engraving from a painting of Lachlan McIntosh. McIntosh, a member of a prominent eighteenth-century Scottish Highland family that was among the earliest settlers of the Georgia colony, played an important role in the cause of American independence. He distinguished himself in a career that evolved over three critical periods in the state's early history-from colonial to revolutionary to statehood. - Metadata URL:
