In 1737, Englishman William Stephens sailed to Georgia to serve as colonial secretary to its British Board of Trustees. His reports on the condition of Georgia impressed the board, and they appointed him president of the colony. Julie Anne Sweet uses the story of Stephens's life to illuminate vital details in the history of early Georgia.
