James Oglethorpe of Georgia

This statue of Governor Oglethorpe dominates Chippewa Square in Savannah. A nearby marker refers to him as "the great soldier-philanthropist who founded the colony of Georgia." It also says that the bronze statue was sculpted by Daniel Chester French.

Oglethorpe lived from 1696-1785.
