The Journal of the Earl of Egmont reveals private historical
records kept by John Perceval, the first Earl of Egmont and
secretary for the Common Council, a council appointed by the
Charter of the colony of Georgia. A close friend of James Edward
Oglethorpe, Egmont was instrumental in various colonial projects,
including obtaining money for the new Carolina charter, serving as
the first president of the Trustees, and often serving as the
chairman of the Common Council. His careful records and plentiful
writing found here offer a historical perspective on Georgia's
early days.
