Summary "Biographical Memorials of James Oglethorpe" by Thaddeus Mason Harris is a historical account published in the early 19th century. The book centers on James Oglethorpe, the distinguished founder of the Colony of Georgia in North America, detailing his life, notable achievements, and the innovative principles that guided his philanthropic endeavors. The opening of the work sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Oglethorpe’s life, detailing his birth, education, and military career. The author recounts how Oglethorpe, motivated by compassion and a desire for reform, formulated the idea for a new colony that would offer a second chance to the poor and indebted populations of Britain by providing them land and the means to cultivate it. Harris reflects on Oglethorpe's significant contributions to colonial leadership and his unwavering commitment to humanitarian principles, establishing an intriguing foundation for understanding the broader scope of Oglethorpe's impact on American history.
