Synthesizes the archaeology of the Apalachicola-lower Chattahoochee Valley region of northwest Florida, southeast Alabama, and southwest Georgia, from 1,300 years ago to recent times
Ascension Island is one of the most remote places on the planet. Since the days of Napoleon it has served as a far-flungoutpost of Empire, a communications centre and a vital transportation link during both the Second World War and Falklands Conflict. At the same time, it is home to one of the most important sea turtle colonies in the world, and is a major breeding area for tropical seabirds. Photographer and naturalist Kevin Schafer spent several weeks on Ascension, which has recently opened its doors to the outside world for the first time. The result is a compelling portrait of a unique tropical island, rich in both human and natural history.
The British built two forts on Florida's Apalachicola River during the closing months of the War of 1812. While the fort at Prospect Bluff is a well-known part of U.S. history, the story of Nicolls' Outpost has never been told in book form.In Nicolls' Outpost: A War of 1812 Fort at Chattahoochee, Florida, historian Dale Cox unravels the history of the little-known British forward base on the upper Apalachicola River. The last formal treaty between Great Britain and the Creek and Seminole Indians was signed at this fort. This all but forgotten document was the first formal agreement between the various groups that would form the Seminole Nation of Florida.Dale Cox is the author of fifteen books on Southeastern U.S. history. A descendant of both the Yuchi (Creek) chief Efau Emathla and the American pioneer Daniel Boone, he lives near the quaint little community of Two Egg, Florida.
