Glen, James |
| Glen was appointed royal
governor of Colonial South Carolina in 1738 and came to the colony in 1743
to serve until 1756, the longest tenure of any governor during its
Colonial period. Two major themes are stressed: first, Glen had to protect
the royal prerogative and follow the dictates of his commission in the
face of persistent challenge from the assembly; and second, his role in
Indian affairs was critical and dominated much of his time and energy,
because Glen had a keen interest in and an aptitude for Indian
negotiations.
