Description
Excerpt from The History of Georgia, Containing Brief Sketches of the Most Remarkable Events Up to the Present Day, (1784)
In 1816, he published the second volume of his History of Georgia, thus bringing down the record of the State to the end of the Revolution.
While his History of Georgia is not free from legitimate criticism as to style and historic treatment, still it is of inesti mable value in the preservation of many of the important facts upon which are based the writings of later historians. He did not attempt a finished production, but he collected the material for the future historian, and in estimating the value of his work we must bear in mind what Jared Sparks says of it: The work has its merits, but its author labored under disadvantages, and his materials were scanty.
