Nicolls' Outpost: A War Of 1812 Fort At Chattahoochee, Florida

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.
