 Though his report on the site is vague (it only talks about surveyor lines being laid out, probably done so by the soldiers earlier at Fort King George), Oglethorpe's later actions demonstrate his unhappiness with the site.Oglethorpe ordered the Highlanders to land at "Barnwell's Bluff", but later moved the settlement about farther up-river, probably due to the periodic flooding of the bluff and its proximity to the marsh, something attributable to malaria outbreaks in this time period Also, though it is not stated in records, it stands to reason that Oglethorpe was familiar with the earlier hardships endured at Fort King George.He may even have read Barnwell's journal and other records indicating the difficulties of settling the site on the Altamaha.
