Title: Colonial Georgia
Description: The first settlers came to Georgia more than ten thousand years ago, and it is with a description of those earliest Indians that Colonial Georgia begins. The simple life of the primitive men was first disrupted by Don Hernando de Soto of Spain, who thought he could find riches in America, even though he was already so wealthy that Spain's King Charles V borrowed money from him. De Soto and his men cruelly mistreated many Indians, and the expedition ended in De Soto's death in 1542. This fascinating history ends as Georgia becomes a part of the new United States of America. - Jacket flap.
