About that time a Swiss, one Colonel Purry, settled with a colony of six hundred of his countrymen on the left bank of the Savannah, at a place called Purrys- burg. It is hard to realize that St. Augustine, the stronghold of the Spanish dominion in North America, had even then been in existence one hun- dred and sixty-four years, and that the gold-loving Spaniards had been working mines of the precious metal in that enchanting country of North Georgia where the Chattahoochee rushes **down from ...the hills of Habersham, and out of the valleys of Hall." In the epigrammatic language of Macau- lay, **The American dependencies of the Castilian crown still extended far to the North of Cancer, and far to the South of Capricorn." The fancy of Goldsmith has depicted in the "Deserted Village" the wilderness dangers with which nature had en- countered the Georgia colonists : "Those matted woods where birds forget to sing, But silent bats in drowsy clusters cling; Those poisonous fields with rank luxuriance crown'd, Where the dark scorpion gathers death around ; Where at each step the stranger fears to wake The rattling terrors of the vengeful snake : Where crouching tigers wait their hapless prey, And savage men more murderous still than they; While oft in whirls the mad tornado flies.
