The Burning of the Lime RickReturns to Fort Frederica,December 3
It is a sight to see. An intense fireerupts from the stacked logs.Oyster shells, carefully placed onshelves made of branches amidstthe structure, crack and pop as theheat transforms them into powderylime. This lime, when mixed withwater, sand and more shell asaggregate, creates a buildingmaterial known as tabby.
Visitors to Fort Frederica NationalMonument have an opportunity toexperience a common element ofthe lives of Frederica’s earlysettlers. On December 3, 2010staff and volunteers will bring backa tradition from the early days. Theburning of the lime rick is thehighlight of a program that will alsotell a few of the stories ofFrederica’s first settlers.
According to Fort FredericaRanger Jon Burpee, tabby is aperfect analogy for Frederica’ssettlers. “It took a strong buildingmaterial like tabby to leave alasting presence at Frederica. Ithink that the settlers likewiseneeded a strength to survive in theGeorgia wilderness.” This specialliving history program begins at7:00 pm.

Next year marks the 275th anniversary ofthe settlers arriving at Frederica. As such, i twil l be an amazing year to delve into thisamazing site’s history. A great way to startearly and experience the events of 275years ago is by fol lowing two of Frederica’sfounders on Facebook.
Francis Moore and Reverend Charles Wesley were the onlytwo original settlers known to have kept journals. Thesewrit ings offer an amazing level of insight about the conditionsFrederica’s sett lers faced in the Georgia wilderness.
Moore’s journal starts on October 14 as he boards the shipSymonds . His descriptions of l i fe aboard ship shows the painsthe Trustees of Georgia went to in order to insure a safevoyage. Upon his arrival in Georgia his journal describes thevery new environmental and living conditions faced by thesenew emigrants from London.
Wesley’s journal is much more personal and detai ls hisstruggles as Oglethorpe’s secretary and the pastor toFrederica’s sett lers. His words give an an understanding ofthe diff icult early days of Frederica’s sett lement.
Moore and Wesley now have Facebook pages upon which wil lappear their journal entries as their updates almost daily . Tobefriend them log on to Facebook and send requests toFacebook.com/FrancisMoore1736 and Facebook.com/CharlesWesley1736.
Purple, squishy stains mark the tabby sidewalks around the visitor center this timeof year. As the season passes, eastern gray squirrels scamper with a steadily,unsteady gait – the result of a little squirrel drunkenness. It is all the consequence ofthe ripening and then the fermenting of the grapes on the vines that crawl everskyward with help from the live oaks. This bit of grape goodness, however, is notnew.
[The] Grape is black in Clusters, small, thick skinned, big stoned, but pleasantenough: It seems to be the Bordeaux Grape, wild and unimproved; theyare ripe about September, but a Quantity sufficient to make a trueExperiment of Wine (which can hardly be done under 60 Gallons) ishard to be got, because the Bears, Rackoons and Squirrels eat them...,and as they run up very high Trees, it is difficult or almost impossible toget to the Tops of them where the best grow. These Grapes are commonto the Woods in most parts of America.
Francis Moore, 1736
Today, the majority of wild grapes that grow at Frederica are this variety.Francis Moore, however, noticed two other types of native grapes growingon the island. Perhaps the most peculiar variety was what he called the‘Fox-Grape.’ He described it “as large and round as a Duke-Cherry” witha muscatine taste and growing not as a cluster of grapes, but singly like acherry.
But there is on St. Simons, a wild Grape much nearer theEurope Vine, the Fruit being exactly the same as the commonwhite Grape, through the Leaf is something different. The Birdsand wild Animals like it so well, that they suffer it seldom to ripen.
He described this third grape variety in such glowing terms, it may haveencouraged the importation of European vines in an attempt to establish Georgiaas a grape and wine producing colony.
Vines may have even played a role in helping one out-of-work army officer get an appointment to the 42nd
Regiment. In 1737, William Cook donated “sixteen different Sorts of Vine Cuttings from France being hisBenefaction of the use of the Colony.”Cook would eventually be given command of the company that initiallymanned Fort St. Simons and Delegal’s Fort on the south end of St. Simons Island. He rose to the rank ofLieutenant-Colonel.
The Journal of the Trustees for the Colony of Georgia recorded other donations of vines for use in Georgia.As an example, on December 20, 1738, the clerk noted: “Receiv’d a Parcel of Vine Cuttings mostly of theBurgundy kind, the Benefaction of Samuel Forster Esqr Which the Accomptant acquainted the Trusteeswere shipt on board the America Capt. Gerald for Charles Town in their Way to Georgia.”
So today, as you walk out towards the town site and peer off into the woods and see a wilderness that bothprovided for and scared the original settlers, look to the trees above and the path below you to see squishylittle reminders of their hope for an agricultural future.

Historian’s Corner:The Mighty Axe
If you had to choose a singleimplement to tame the colonial Georgiawilderness, you would certainly selectthe felling axe. With it you could clearthe forest to make way for colonialhouses and villages like Frederica.Then it would help you begin theconversion of the felled trees intoframing timber for the construction ofbuildings.
Maybe the felling axe should be thesymbol of the colonies, for it wascomposed of the finest metal thatEurope could supply, combined withthe finest, toughest wood the Americanforests produced. Thus the felling axebecame the best weapon ever wielded
by settlers to subdue the wilderness.
Axe heads were individuallyhandcrafted by the village blacksmithand fitted with a hickory or ash handleby the user of the axe. The felling axehas changed very little since colonialtimes with the exception of the handlewhich is now often made of fiberglass.
The colonists’ Native neighborswatched in amazement as thosesharp-edged iron axes cut down thegiant trees. Every tribesman had tohave such a labor saver of his own. Thefelling axe brought the Natives a helpfultool that also irreparably transformedtheir world forever.
Although there have been manycalendars used around the worldthroughout human history, the two thatare important in the study of Georgiahistory are the Julian and Gregoriancalendars. Because of small errors inthe Julian calendar (adopted in 46 B.C.during the reign of Julius Caesar),Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 mandated anew system for accounting for thepassage of time for members of theCatholic Church. The new Gregoriancalendar proved much more accurate,so gradually various countries adoptedthe Gregorian calendar. Great Britain,however, was one of the last majorcountries to change calendars. Notuntil 1752 did Britain and the Americancolonies officially adopt the Gregoriancalendar. By that time, there waseleven days’ difference between thetwo calendars. This has resulted inconfusion while reading primarysources (such as Oglethorpe’s letters)from the time of Georgia’s founding(1733). For example, an event thathappened on January 1 using theJulian Calendar then in effect would inessence be January 12 after the
conversion to the Gregorian Calendar.As a result, some historians began thepractice of adding “Old Style” (or“O.S.”) after Julian calendar dates, and“New Style” (or “N.S.”) for Gregoriancalendar dates.
Further complicating matters, underthe Julian Calendar as used by Britain,a new year began on March 25—notJan. 1. For instance, events happeningin January, February, and the first 24days of March of what we recognize as1733 technically took place in 1732. Inlight of the fact that much of Europeobserved Jan. 1 as the beginning of anew year, many letters and documentsrelating to Georgia’s early historydated in January, February, and mostof March bear a double year (e.g.,1732/33). Thus, a British date of Jan.1, 1732 might be cited as “Jan. 1,1732/33”—which would be Jan. 12,1733 under the Gregorian Calendar. Inreality, the use of double-year datesended long before Britain’s officialcalendar conversion in 1752.
To give the Gregorian equivalent for
every date in history would be a majortask, not to mention distracting. As aresult, most historians simply use thedate of whatever calendar was in effectat the time an event happened.However, in 1847, when William Stevenswrote his important two-volume AHistory of Georgia, he usedcontemporary dates as they happenedfor the story of the founding of Georgia— except for the landing of Oglethorpeand the colonists atYamacraw Bluff. While Oglethorpewrote that they arrived on Feb. 1, 1733,Stephens substituted the New Styleequivalent of Feb. 12 for the founding ofGeorgia. Subsequent historiansfollowed suit, leading Feb. 12 later to bewidely recognized as Georgia Day.
Note: this explains why in some textsit says that the Battles of Gully HoleCreek and Bloody Marsh took placeon June 22nd (usually Britishsources), and others say July 7th
(usually Spanish sources). FortFrederica NM uses July 7th becauseit’s in the New Style which is thedating system we use today.

Editor’s Note: The following is anexcerpt from Gentleman’s Magazinefrom March 1740. This leading Londonpaper printed a letter that casts lightupon the difficult question of slavery inSouth Carolina and Georgia — thesouthern colonies closest to SpanishFlorida.
“Sometime since aProclamation was published atAugustine, in which the Kingof Spain...promised Protectionand Freedom to all NegroeSlaves, who would resortthither. Certain Negroesbelonging to Capt. Davisescaped to Augustine, andwere received there; they
were demanded by GeneralOglethorpe who sent Lieut.Demere to Augustine....Since the good Reception ofthe Negroes at Augustine wasspread about, severalattempted to escape to theSpaniards, and were taken,one of them was hang’d atCharles Town.”
