He was a prominent Savannah merchant and a member of the General Assembly. In 1775, Elbert was instrumental in bringing the Revolution to Georgia and soon commanded Continental forces in the conflict. He emerged participated in almost every major battle in the state prior to his capture at Brier Creek on March 3, 1779. Elbert was present at the Battle of the Rice Boats in 1776, a participant in two of Georgia's three campaigns into Florida, commanded American troops during the action on the Frederica River in 1778, and was in Savannah when it fell to the British on December 29, 1778. At Yorktown, Virginia, he joined George Washington's forces, where he witnessed the surrender of Lord Cornwallis's British army in 1781. In 1785, Elbert became Georgia's governor, but his one-year term was plagued by border conflicts, particularly with the Creek Indians over the Oconee Lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 9.3 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757983334688,"sku":"9780881468588","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4e85eb48a0b1e1ac42ee8efd74f0d8c9.webp?v=1780116056","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/samuel-elbert-the-age-of-rev-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
