The Mayflower and the pilgrims landing in Plymouth are the images most envision with the founding of the early states in America. Each colony holds its own story of how it was first established and the founding fathers of each of its colonies. One example is the colony of Georgia. James Oglethorpe, a famous leader of the Georgia Colony, was one of the most important men for the development of the colonial United States.
