From 1741 A True and Historical Narrative edited by Amy ABOUT the latter End of May, 1740, Mr. Oglethorpe set out with his Regiment for Florida, and soon after, the Carolina Forces (consisting of about Six Hundred Men) joined him, with about Three Hundred Indians, and Sixty High-Landers Volunteers from Darien, who were buoyed up by the General with the mighty Hopes of Reward; besides several Stragglers and Boatmen from other Parts of the Province and elsewhere; so that, exclusive of six Men of War, there might be about Fifteen Hundred effective Men assisting at the Siege (as it was called) of the Castle of St. Augustine: But we shall take no further Notice of this Affair except that as it has affected or may still affect the Colony of Georgia.
