The earliest account that we lihvc
of Augusta Is from "A Stale of the!
Province of Georgia attested upon
oath at Savannah, Nov. 10, 1740."
It saya In part that The reason;
that the traders liked Augusta was
that they had protection here, as a
handsome fori was built on the high
Imnk of the Savannah with 12 to In
men and their offirers as a garrison.
Another and Important reason was
that the land here was very fertile
and a good crop could he easily
rtlsed
Augusta was thriving an that Gen
Oglethorpe ordered that a road be cut
from Augusta to Old ( Kbeneier and
from Augusta to t..#l Cherokee tn
'liana, so that wo might be able to call
them tn our assistance against the
French It also ways that there wore
three trading posts here, hut In a
very had condition on account of >he
111 regulation of the Indian trade
A Larqe Tradlnq Past.
Augusta was for years the largest
trading post in the state and against
the wishes and th,. Injunction of the
governor ajarea were rented from
South Carolina to work the Held* In
March. 1740 a complain; was entered
at Savannah to the effect that the
slaves were doing all the work here
and a white man could flml nothing
to do It doea not say w hat was dona
about the complaint.
In 1750 It was ordered that a ehuroh
he built to one of the curtains of
the fort (now St Paula) and that
a minister be procured
This was the fitrthereat advance
that the Church of Knglnnd had made

He was to receive a paraona the

pounds a year His report says on
hia arrival there was no parsonage,
the glebe laud was not cultivated snd
the 20 pounds was very doubtful
The number of the congregation was
100 and the number of communi
