Today in Georgia History:
September 30, 1770 Anglican minister George Whitefield [pronounced and sometimes spelled "Whitfield"] died in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Born in Gloucester, England on Dec. 16, 1714, he attended Oxford University. Just prior to graduating in 1736, Whitefield was ordained as a deacon in the Church of England. At the encouragement of friends John and Charles Wesley, Whitefield came to Georgia in 1738 and began preaching to colonists in Savannah. Three months later, he decided Georgia needed an orphanage so he returned to England to raise the necessary money. In 1739, Whitefield returned to America by way of Philadelphia, where he began preaching with a charismatic style not associated with the Church of England. From New England to South Carolina, Whitefield had a tremendous impact on audiences. In 1740, he gave up his Savannah ministry to reach a larger audience in America, though he did succeed with creation of the Bethesda Orphanage on 500 acres granted by the Trustees near Savannah. Though his religious impact extended far beyond Georgia to both sides of the Atlantic, Whitefield maintained his interest in Bethesda Orphanage until his death in 1770.

Today in Georgia History:
September 29, 1526 Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón and 600 Spanish colonists (including African slaves and perhaps freemen) landed on the Georgia mainland opposite Sapelo Sound and founded the settlement of San Miguel de Gualdape. This was the first European settlement in North America since the Vikings' exploration around year 1000 A.D. The colonists had sailed from the Caribbean island of Hispaniola in July aboard six ships. In August, they had landed at Winyah Bay on the Carolina coast, but failing to find an Indian settlement (which would be necessary for food until crops could be planted and harvested) they sailed southward. On the Georgia coast, Ayllón found Guale Indians. Although physical remains of their settlement have not been found, historians and geographers have utilized surviving navigation logs and other records to reconstruct the 1526 voyage. (See Jeannine Cook, ed., Columbus and the Land of Ayllón, 1992.) Based on the latest research, the San Miguel de Gualdape settlement probably was situated on the mainland of what today is McIntosh County opposite Sapelo Sound. (Click here to view map.) One source feels the most likely location was within the present-day Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, which is located near the mouth of the Newport River facing St. Catherines Island. (To view a timeline of Spanish explortion and colonization in the New World, click here.)

Today in Georgia History:
September 19, 1863 The Battle of Chickamauga began marking the first major engagement between Confederate and Union troops in Georgia. Twelve days earlier, Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg had been forced to pull his Army of Tennessee out of Chattanooga. They had retreated to a point on the W&A Railroad near Ringgold, Georgia. Union Gen. William Rosecrans' Army of the Cumberland had pursued Bragg. After some skirmishes on the 18th, the two sides engaged in a major battle at Chickamauga Creek (which ironically was a Cherokee name that means either "River of Death" or "River of Blood"). Despite heavy loses on both sides, the first day's results are inconclusive.

Today's Notes:
Four Modes of Transportation Notes
Roads (Highway’s and Interstates) - 1732 to the present
Roads ran East to West
They followed Indian trails
Until the creation of the railroad they were the main east west mode of transportation
Many of these roads later became GA’s highways and interstates
Turnpikes were privately maintained roads which a toll was charged for use
Most improved in the 1920’s and 30’s as part of the New Deal
Interstate system created in the 1950’s (Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956)
Waterways (Rivers and Ports) -1732 to the present
GA has 12 principal river systems
Rivers run North to south
The Savannah, Ogeechee, Altamaha, Satilla and St. Mary’s river flow in to the Atlantic
The Chattahoochee, Flint and Suwanee all flow into the Gulf of Mexico
Prior to the railroad and highway system rivers were used to transport goods to the ports
Savannah and Brunswick are GA’s two main port cities (they exceeded 1.8 billion dollars in revenue)
GA was the first state to export cotton to Britain in 1788
Rectangular barges used for transport (Oconee Boxes)
Good for down stream travel only
Steamboats allow upstream travel in the 1820’s
From GA goods are two truckload days from 82% US industrial market place and 79% of the nation’s largest consumer markets.
Rail Roads (Western and Atlantic) – 1836 to the present
First developed in GA the 1830’s to move goods east – west
Cotton was the primary good to be moved
Western-Atlantic ran from Chattanooga to its terminus (end of the railroad line) which later became Atlanta
Atlanta becomes a major hub for rail transportation
During the Civil War Atlanta was a strategic target because of the railroad
Airports (Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport) – 1925 to the present
Built on an abandoned racetrack 1925 – 1926
Of major importance for the import and export of goods
Major hub in the airline industry for the movement of passengers
Worlds busiest Airport
