Re: Earl of Mar

I have to say, as colony founders go, Oglethorpe - anti slavery, forbids it (which makes how Georgia turned out after him a bitter irony), falls out with William "The Butcher" Cumberland over the treatment of Scottish rebels, goes undercover to serve with James Keith, is with him and takes care of his slain body in a dangerous battle - sounds like a really good egg!
