The scantiness of the material, coupled with a con scious inability to do the subject justice, long deterred me from the attempt. Several years since when a number of rare American newspapers and political pamphlets prior to 1825 came into my possession, I resolved, with these as a nucleus, to search for more material bearing directly on the early history of Georgia and times in which Crawford lived. His life and the history of the state are so interwoven as to be inseparable.
