Note 4 — Chapter V · BREWING IN THE SOUTH.

The following curious episode of Oglethorpe’s journey to Fredericia is reproduced in C.C. Jones’ “Dead Towns of Georgia”: “Mr. Ogelthorpe accompanied them in his scout-boat, keeping the fleet together, and taking the hindermost craft in tow. As an incentive to unity of movement, he placed all the strong beer on board one boat. The rest labored diligently to keep up; for, if they were not all at the place of rendezvous each night, the tardy crew lost their rations.”
