Colonist Philip Thicknese was to write of his brief experiences in Georgia in the following manner:

     In one of my frequent woodland excursions, and about four miles          from Savanha, I found a fertile piece of ground, upon the banks of a      rapid Creek . . . I built a wooden, not an iron house thereon, and            there I passed much of my time; my gun supplied me with squirrels,        wild fowl, &c. and the town only, with rice, to boil by way of bread,        the Indians sometimes visited my Island for a day or two, and then I      had plenty of venison, which they boil’d down, and eat dipped in wild      honey, this was a true Robinson Crusoe line of life.
