Jonathan Bryan (1708-88) rose from the obscurity of the southern
frontier to become one of colonial Georgia's richest, most powerful
men. Along the way he made such influential friends as George
Whitefield and James Oglethorpe. Bryan's contemporaries, in terms
of their large holdings of land and slaves, were markedly
traditional and conservative. As Alan Gallay shows, Bryan was
different. Paternalistic and relatively open minded, Bryan
contemplated religious, social, political, and economic ideas that
other planters refused to consider. Of equal importance, he
explored the geographic areas that lay beyond the reach and
understanding of his contemporaries. Through the career of a
remarkable individual--which spanned the founding of Georgia, the
Revolution, and the birth of the new republic--Gallay chronicles
the rise of the plantation slavery system in the colonial South.
