Hello James. I lived along the Savannah River, near the coast of Georgia.
Thank you, Mary. Can you help me communicate with Tomochichi? I do not speak the Creek language
My name is Mary Musgrove, and I'd gladly be your translator! I can speak Creek and English. I also own a trading post.
I want to start a colony on your land and name it Georgia after King George. I would also like to name the city Savannah with your permission,Tomochichi.I have 40 families traveled with me over the Atlantic Ocean.
Sure you can use the land. I can help build the roads and houses. The first road will be from Savannah to Darien.
I live in the wooded area over there. I use a bike or horse to see my friends.
We can establish trade and become good allies!
I agree!
I'll gladly take your offer! I have an amazing plan for our settlement! We'll call it Savannah!
Let's get to building right away!
A friendship that would last their entire lives. Eventually...
As time went on, Oglethorpe and Tomochichi developed a friendship.
Tomochichi and Mary stood by him, the 3 as the founders of Savannah.
Savannah was finished being built, with Oglethorpe its leader.
It's beautiful.
