The beginner's American history . d stood like aguide-post; it showed the travellerwhich way to go until he came insight of the next one. 106. Trying to make silk; the queensAmerican dress. — The settlers hopedto be able to get large quantities of silkto send to England, because the mul-berry-tree grows wild in Georgia, andits leaves are the favorite food of tnesilk-worm.2 At first it seemed as ifthe plan would be successful, and General Oglethorpe tookover some Georgia silk as a present to the queen of Eng-land. She had a handsome dress made of it for her birth-day ; it was the first American silk dress ever worn by anEnglish queen.

Part of the powder they kept for themselves, and part they seem to have sent to Massachusetts ; so thatit is quite likely that the men who fought at Bunker Hillmay have loaded their guns with some of the powder giventhem by their friends in Savannah. In that case the kinggot it back, but in a somewhat different way from what heexpected. General Oglethorpe spent the last of his life in England.He lived to a very great age.
