| S. S. James Oglethorpe and the Battle of the Atlantic
S. S. James Oglethorpe launched on November 20, 1942, during World War
II, the first of 88 Liberty Ships built by Southeastern Shipbuilding
(approximately two miles downriver from here). Setting sail from New
York in a convoy bound for Liverpool, she was torpedoed by a German
U-boat on March 16, 1943, and was lost the next morning along with 44 of
her 74-man crew. Liberty Ships were merchant vessels built quickly and
efficiently in numbers high enough to overwhelm German efforts to
blockade U.S. ports and disrupt the flow of supplies to Allied forces in
Europe. The Liberty Ship-building program marked Georgia’s most
important contribution to the Battle of the Atlantic. It produced 173
ships built in yards in Savannah and Brunswick and mobilized nearly
62,000 workers statewide.

Marker Text:
The Lord’s Acre
In 1922 Rev. H.M. Melton of Bluffton Baptist Church challenged his congregation to set aside one acre of farmland and donate the proceeds from crops raised there to the cash-poor rural church. Seven farmers agreed. The “Lord’s acres” not only thrived but seemed impervious to the boll weevil that plagued the community in 1923. Encouraged by a Time Magazine article in 1924 and later by the Lord’s Acre Plan of the Farmers Federation of North Carolina, the movement spread, becoming an international and interdenominational phenomenon that continues to provide funding for churches to the present day. The movement has grown beyond farmland to include projects of donated time and service, and to auctions and sales featuring homemade goods, arts, and crafts.

Trustees Gala
Saturday, February 16, 2013
7 p.m.
Hyatt Regency
2 West Bay Street, Savannah
The highlight of the Gala is the induction by Governor Nathan Deal of the year’s
Georgia Trustees, two citizens of Georgia who exemplify a lifetime of
excellence in their work and philanthropic accomplishment. The 2013
Trustees, philanthropist and Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy and Atlanta real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist Herman Russell, will be in attendance to receive their awards. Following the
presentations, the new Trustees will engage in a moderated conversation,
featuring questions on topics ranging from business to philanthropy to
history and life philosophies.
The Georgia Trustees
In conjunction with the Governor’s Office, the Georgia Historical Society reconstituted the Georgia Trustees as a way of recognizing Georgians whose accomplishments and community service reflect the highest ideals of the founding body of Trustees. The original Georgia Trustees, a governing body chartered and appointed by His Majesty King George II of England in 1732 to establish a new colony in North America, founded the Georgia colony upon the principle of Non Sibi, Sed Aliis, “Not for Self but for Others.” They established and governed the colony with this vision until their disbandment in 1752, after which Georgia became a royal colony. Reestablished in 2009, the Governor will make an annual appointment of new Trustees whose history-making accomplishments and service reflect the original Trustees’ ideals.

Birthplace of John C. Frémont
January 22, 2013
12 p.m.
Yamacraw Park
565 W Bryan St.
Savannah
In recognition of the bicentennial of his birth, join us as we dedicate a new historical marker for John C. Frémont, the 2013 Georgia History Festival's Featured Historical Character, near his Savannah birthplace.
Birthplace of John C. Frémont
One of two native Georgians who served as generals in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, John C. Frémont was born nearby on January 21, 1813. As an army officer, his 1840s explorations of the American West gained him fame as the “Pathfinder.” During the U.S.-Mexican War, Frémont seized California for the U.S. and was elected one of its first Senators in 1850. Opposed to slavery’s expansion, he ran unsuccessfully in 1856 as the first Republican presidential candidate. During the Civil War, Frémont’s 1861 proclamation freeing all Confederate-owned slaves in Missouri was annulled by President Lincoln. After lackluster performance as a combat commander, Frémont resigned from the U.S. Army in 1864. He later served as governor of the Arizona Territory (1878-1881) and died in New York in 1890.

Augusta, GA
Birthplace of Montgomery C. Meigs
One of two native Georgians who served as generals in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, Montgomery C. Meigs was born here on May 3, 1816, grandson of a University of Georgia president. After graduating from West Point, he oversaw construction of some of Washington D.C.’s greatest engineering feats, including the U.S. Capitol dome. Meigs became Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army in 1861, coordinating the massive supply effort throughout the Civil War, and continuing in that position until he retired in 1882. His organizational genius created an efficient war machine that helped defeat the Confederacy. In 1864, Meigs ordered that Arlington, the confiscated plantation of Robert E. Lee’s wife, be used for military burials, creating the nation’s premier national cemetery. Meigs was buried there when he died Jan. 2, 1892.

William Clayton Fain: Georgia Unionist
One of the leading Unionists in the state during the Civil War, William Clayton Fain was born in Georgia in 1825. A Fannin County lawyer and state representative, he served in the 1861 Secession Convention, where he opposed Georgia leaving the United States and refused to sign the Ordinance of Secession. During the Civil War, Fain was an outspoken supporter of the United States and an anti-Confederate leader among the sizeable number of Unionists in Fannin and adjoining counties. In 1864, the U.S. Army authorized him to raise recruits, which he conducted into Federal lines. Fain was captured and killed by Confederates near Ducktown, Tennessee, on April 6, 1864. He was one of many Southerners who opposed the Confederacy, including 400,000 – primarily from the Upper South – who enlisted in the U.S. armed forces.
