About This Book

A series of historical sketches traces European exploration and colonial contest along Florida’s Gulf coast, recounting early landings, failed and enduring settlements, and the evolution of Pensacola as a regional capital. It surveys French, Spanish, and British administrations, military campaigns and sieges, and the political and commercial institutions that shaped provincial life. The narrative examines Indian relations and trade, including the role of Creek nations and the leadership of Alexander McGillivray, and follows the capitulation and transfer of authority, resulting population shifts, boundary disputes, and everyday social and economic conditions, supported by archival references, maps, and illustrations.
