In this capacity he arranged, published, and copied many of the state's official papers and collected others from private sources. He also undertook to write a history of Georgia. Bevan died before he could finish his work, History of Georgia. His papers were scattered, and some were lost. Scope and Content Note The Joseph Vallence Bevan papers consist of 138 items, of which most are copies. Many of the originals have been lost or are in other collections not known to the Georgia Historical Society. Some were separated from the boy of the papers and are listed in other Georgia Historical Society collection, with notations that they originated in the Bevan collection. The papers consist of official colony and state papers, and letters and papers of individuals. The papers cover various phases of colonial and state government; Indian affairs, including original lists of presents to the Indians, 1749-1751; Revolutionary War military affairs, ; and the Yazoo land speculation. The official papers consist of Lists of Acts disallowed under the Royal Government, 1755-1775; Proceedings of Governor and Council, 1774-1780; Proceedings of Executive Council, 1778-1779, 1782; extracts from the journals of the Georgia House and Senate and resolutions; letters to and from the Governors; proclamations; and negotiations with the Indians. The writers of letters, depositions, etc. are in alphabetical order: Timothy Barnard, Richard Call, Patrick Carr, Elijah Clark, Zachariah Cox, Count d'Estaing, Nathanael Greene, James Gunn, Abner Hammond, James Jackson, John Loverel, James Madison, M.A.B. Mangourit, Governor Mathews, Old Tossell (Cherokee chief), John Nepommene de Quesada, Archer Norris, Andrew Pickens, Daniel Stewart, Anthony Wayne, Charles Weatherford, and Solomon Wood. In addition, two letters written to Bevan in 1812 relating to the writers' Revolutionary War experiences are from Samuel Beckcom and Richard Winn. There are also parts of two other such letters from sources not identified. This collection was assembled with the aid of Peter Force's "Table of Documents Collected by Joseph Vallence Bevan," a copy of which is filed with the papers; and through internal evidence, such as notes, etc. The collection is arranged chronologically.

    Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies

    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.
