This is the oldest English fort remaining on Georgia's coast. From 1721 until 1736, Fort King George was the southern outpost of the British Empire in North America. A cypress blockhouse, barracks and palisaded earthen fort were constructed in 1721 by scoutmen led by Colonel John “Tuscarora Jack” Barnwell. For the next seven years, His Majesty’s Independent Company garrisoned the fort. They endured incredible hardships from disease, threats of Spanish and Indian attacks, and the harsh, unfamiliar coastal environment. After the fort was abandoned, General James Oglethorpe brought Scottish Highlanders to the site in 1736. The settlement, called Darien, eventually became a foremost export center of lumber until 1925.
Using old records and drawings, this 18th century frontier fortification on the Altamaha River has been reconstructed for public tours. Structures include a blockhouse, officers' quarters, barracks, a guardhouse, moat and palisades. A museum and film cover the Guale Indians, the Santo Domingo de Talaje mission, Fort King George, the Scots of Darien and 19th century sawmilling when Darien became a major seaport. In addition to the many fort buildings, remains of three sawmills and tabby ruins are still visible. This site is on the Colonial Coast Birding Trail.

Fort King George State Historic Site is a fort located in the U.S. state of Georgia in McIntosh County, adjacent to Darien. The fort was built in 1721 along what is now known as the Darien River and served as the southernmost outpost of the British Empire in the Americas until 1727. The fort was constructed in what was then considered part of the colony of South Carolina, but was territory later settled as Georgia. It was part of a defensive line intended to encourage settlement along the colony's southern frontier, from the Savannah River to the Altamaha River. Great Britain, France, and Spain were competing to control the American Southeast, especially the Savannah-Altamaha River region.
Fort King George was a hardship for troops assigned there. A total of 140 officers (including Col. Barnwell) and soldiers died, mostly from camp diseases such as dysentery and malaria, due to poor sanitation (none from battle). The soldiers made up The Independent Company of South Carolina, an "invalid" company of elderly British Regulars, one hundred in all, sent over from Great Britain. Their suffering was largely caused by their own poor health, and inadequate provisions due to poor funding. Problems such as periodic river flooding, indolence, starvation, excessive alcoholism, desertion, enemy threats, and potential mutiny exacerbated hardships at the fort.
The fort was a model for General James Oglethorpe when he set up his southern defense system for Georgia and established a settlement along the Altamaha River. In 1736, Oglethorpe brought Scottish colonists to settle the site of the abandoned Fort King George. They called their village New Inverness, later named Darien. That same year, Oglethorpe built Fort Frederica on Saint Simons Island. Oglethorpe borrowed extensively from ideas laid out earlier when South Carolina imperialists, such as John Barnwell, Joseph Bowdler, and Francis Nicholson, planned Fort King George as part of a defensive system.
Operated by the state of Georgia, the fort has been reconstructed and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open to the public for historical tours. Structures include a blockhouse, officers' quarters, barracks, a guardhouse, baking and brewing house, blacksmith shop, moat, and palisades. The park's museum focuses on the 18th-century cultural history of the area, including the Guale, the 17th-century Spanish mission Santo Domingo de Talaje, the fort, and the Scottish colonists. An exhibit explains the 19th-century sawmilling at the site and the remains of two sawmills and ruins. Tabby cement ruins, based on a regional building material, also can be found on the property. Site staff offers living history programs year-round.

George Chancellor had opened a tavern at this spot in 1816 after the completion of the Orange Turnpike. George died in the 1830’s and his widow in 1860, but Chancellorsville still dominated the intersection. It was a single large two and a half story brick building. A seventy acre clearing west of the Inn was the largest in the Wilderness.
Fannie Pound Chancellor, the widow of George’s brother, was living at Chancellorsville in 1863 with her young son and six unmarried daughters. This had made Chancellorsville a popular destination for the young beaus of Lee’s Army. But the Federals who occupied the house for General Hooker’s headquarters during the battle found the residents (and several local neighbors who had taken refuge there) to be “not at all abashed or intimidated, scolded audibly and reviled bitterly.”
Not everyone scorned the Federals. The building caught fire from Confederate artillery in the fierce fighting of May 3. Union Colonel Joesph Dickinson, one of General Hooker’s staff, led the sixteen civilians from their shelter in the cellar and escorted them through the artillery barrage to safety. Colonel Dickinson shepherded his flock safely to United States Ford before wishing them godspeed and turning them over to a chaplain. Fourteen year old Sue Chancellor had seen her family piano used as an operating table. She walked past piles of amputated limbs in the yard outside before looking back one last time to see her home “completely enveloped in flames.” She had nothing but praise for Dickinson, writing, “A nobler, braver, kindlier gentleman never lived.”**

There was actually a tiny bit of light, so of course George needed photographed!
He loves his coke boxes, it really likes running through them (I cut off both ends)!

The Singel bridge at the Paleisstraat in Amsterdam, 1896/8.
Breitner often took photographs to prepare his paintings, and several such studies are known for this work. The way in which the woman walks straight towards us and the image is cropped strikes one as distinctly photographic. Breitner initially depicted the woman as a maid, but after a negative review, the gallery representing him felt it would be better if he made her into an elegant lady.

George is looking for a home in the UK. He's a four-month-old Akit / German Shepherd cross who is the last of eight puppies from one litter to be rehomed.
He's incredibly affectionate and would be suited to a family with children over 6 who can give him loads of attention and training.
If you think you can offer George a home please call Dogs Trust Darlington on 01325 333114.
