The University of Georgia
February 24 1806 Poet and clergyman Samuel Jones Cassels was born in
Liberty County, Ga. Cassels felt an early calling to the ministry and
studied privately under Moses Waddel while publicly attending the
University of Georgia. He was ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1829
and assumed the duties of pastor at the Presbyterian church in Macon
in 1837. Here he twice suffered tragedy, as both his infant son and
wife died within a year. He also wrote poetry - the first known book
of poetry published in Georgia was Cassels' Providence and Other
Poems. Soon after its publication, he moved to Virginia, then New
Jersey, where he led a large religious revival movement. In 1846,
with his health was deteriorating, Cassels moved to Savannah. Here he
recuperated enough to become principal of Chatham Academy, but
primarily he cultivated his poetry. His second volume -- America
Discovered -- was published in 1850 followed the next year by Liberty
Poems. Among these poems are works honoring Moses Waddel and James
Oglethorpe. But Cassels' health recovery was temporary, as he probably
had tuberculosis. By December 1852 he was bedridden. Six months later,
Cassels died in Savannah on June 15, 1853.
