Tuesday, March 17 started off as just another typical day at FortFrederica National Monument and lo and behold the staff was dressedjust right, it being St. Patrick’s Day, everyone had on green.
The park was preparing for a field trip by a local area school. ChiefRanger Kim Coons was educating the kids on the National ParkService and how important a Ranger’s job is – to preserve and protectthis place so others can visit and appreciate it in the future. Aftercompleting the program a lady walked up to Ranger Coons andcomplimented her on the job she had done and told her how impressedshe was that we were telling the children about the National ParkService.
She then identified herself as the granddaughter of Stephen T. Mather,the founder of the National Park Service and the first National ParkService director. Although she never met her grandfather she said shewas raised to follow the principles of conservation and preservation.Mather’s granddaughter truly made a lasting impression on the parkstaff with her historical connection to her grandfather.
You never know who might drop in.
Experience a Year of Historywith the Fort Frederica Pass
A great way to explore yourNational Parks is to have a handyguide with you in the form of theNational Parks Passport Book.Many visitors mark their journeysby collecting cancellationstamps in these booksand collecting the colorfulnational and regional stamps each

Company in 1656. Thetrade peaked in the late17th century and wasslowly replaced byChinese kilns in the early18th century and ended1756, as social conditionsin China settled with the fullestablishment of the QingDynasty. Imitating Aritadesigns, fine “ChineseImari” export wares wereproduced in the 18thcentury, eclipsing theoriginal Japanese exports.
An example of this “Imariporcelain” was found inone the abandoned wellsat the Thomas HawkinsHouse by ArcheologistsCharles Fairbanks in thelate 1940s-early 1950s. Itlooks like a small bowl, butit is possibly a tea cup,since most 18th century teacups did not have handleson them. It is a rare find,since the majority ofporcelain in the Fredericacollection is from China notJapan.

Suprises in the Archeological Collection: Imari Porcelain
Imari porcelain is theEuropean collectors’name for Japaneseporcelain wares madein the town of Arita, in theformer Hizen Province,northwestern Kyûshû, andexported from the port ofImari, Saga, specifically forthe European export trade.
Imari was simply the trans-shipment port for Aritawares. The kilns at Aritaformed the heart of theJapanese porcelainindustry, which developedin the 17th century, afterthe porcelain clay wasdiscovered in 1616 by animmigrant Korean potter YiSam-pyeong (1579–1655).After the discovery, Aritakilns introduced Koreanstyle over-glazing
technique and refineddesigns from China. “Imariporcelain” connotes Aritawares more specificallydesigned to catch theEuropean taste.
Dutch traders had amonopoly on the insatiableexport trade, the first largeorder being placed at Aritaby the Dutch East India

Historian’s Corner:The Tragic Story of Lieutenant George Sterling
Editor’s Note: Perhaps the leastunderstood aspect of Frederica’shistory is the role of the soldiersstationed at Fort Frederica. This isthe third article in a series aboutthe 42nd Regiment. Last edition’sarticle explored the troublesomenature of some of the regiment’ssoldiers. This issue looks at oneparticular officer.
Of all the officers of the 42ndRegiment of Foot, none has quitethe tragic and intriguing story ofLieutenant George Sterling.
Sterling was commissioned asan ensign in the Major’sCompany (At that time,Alexander Heron’s Company) onSeptember 24, 1740. He waspromoted to lieutenant onDecember 25 of the same year.(Clark, Murtie June. ColonialSoldiers of the South, 1732-1774. Baltimore: GeneaologicalPublishing Co., Inc.1986. p. 977).He probably was a ‘gentleman-volunteer’ since he received hiscommission a few years after thearrival of the regiment. Quite afew gentleman-volunteers camewith the regiment with the hopesof getting an officer commissionas openings became available.Sterling was lucky to receive hiscommission, but never madecaptain. While in Georgia, he didnot have a good time as pointedout by a modern historian.
“One of the regiment’s mostunfortunate incidents involvedLieutenant George Sterling...In
late 1743 several officersentered his house, overturned hispossessions, and broke hissword. When Sterling attemptedto present a complaint to thecivilian magistrate another officerinterrupted the proceeing. Shortlyafter William Horton transferredhim to Fort Prince William wherehe remained for two years untilhis health failed and he wasreturned to Frederica and placedunder the surgeon’s care. In thesummer of 1747 he receivedLieutenant Colonel Heron’spermission to take leave inEngland, and while aboard aboat bound for Port Royal, wherehe was to board a ship, hecommitted suicide by cutting histhroat.” (Iver, Larry E. BritishDrums on the Southern Frontier,The Military Colonization ofGeorgie, 1733-1749. Chapel Hill:University of North CarolinaPress, 1974. pp. 207-208)
A period document, however,implies that Sterling’s death wasperhaps not a suicide.Frederica’s recorder, John Terry,wrote a letter to Harman Verelston December 20, 1747 that isquite intriguing. (The ColonialRecords of the State of Georgia:Original Papers,Correspondence, Trustees,General Oglethorpe and Others.1745-1750. Volume 25. pp. 246-248). I have retained the originalpunctuation and spelling ofTerry’s letter.
“ By the Last Letters wch. I recd.from America I am informed of A veryStrange & Mallingcholy Affair, Viz,That Lieut. George Sterling Has Cuthis Throat, In his passage fromFrederica to Port Royal where Hewas going to Embark for England onBoard of Capt Thomson Ship, TheCircumstances in wch. this is Said tohave Happend, Make it the MoreSurprizing, No Doubt the Hon. theTrustees Remember what I wrote Tothe Board, Relating the ill Ussage &Cruel Treatment that Poor GentlemanMett with at Frederica & the Damagehe thereby Sufferd, & how afterwardshe was Hoisted away to Prison atFort William Because he Insisted onSuch Satisfaction As the Law shoudDirect, During his Imprisonment atFort William he Sufferd ManyHardships & Recd. many Insults, inSo much that his Health was therebyDistroyd & All most Lost his EyeSight, after Near two yearsConfinement there He was brot. backto Frederica to be Assisted by theDoctors, where he Continued UnderArrest Untill the Arrival of CaptThomson there, when he & the otherOfficers Under Arrest were Orderdto do Duty, Some time after, ThisUnfortunate Gentleman, Applyed tothe Commanding Officer for Leave toCome to England for the Recovery ofhis Health (continued on page 10)
