Native Resistance and American Military Pursuit Near Pensacola, 1814-1819 [DRAFT]
Draft version, unpublished. Do not cite without permission of the author. In the aftermath of the Creek War of 1813-1814, many Indian refugees sought asylum in Spanish Florida. Pensacola and the greater panhandle region represented areas of continued conflict during the period 1814-1819, a time many consider to be a buffer between the end of the Creek War and the beginning of the First Seminole War. This paper represents a glimpse of the struggles faced by a new wave of Creek groups as they made their way into the midst of extant Creek and Seminole communities in Florida while being doggedly pursued by American military forces.

](Fort Scott, Fort Hughes & Camp Recovery: Three 19th Century Military Posts in Southwest Georgia
This volume interprets the history of the military confrontation between the United States and an alliance of Creek, Seminole and Black Seminole warriors that developed along the border dividing Spanish Florida from Alabama and Georgia in 1816-1821. It examines a wealth of new source material to expand upon the flight of the Red Stick Creeks to Florida at the end of the Creek War of 1813-1814, the arrival and activities of the British in the region during the closing days of the War of 1812, the destruction of the Fort at Prospect Bluff (also called the "Negro Fort") and the First Seminole War of 1817-1818.

The Hammock Landing Battery and the Confederate Defenses of the Apalachicola River, Florida
Unpublished M.A. thesis, University of West Florida, Pensacola., 2012
This historical and archaeological research assesses the construction methods and geographical placement of the Hammock Landing Battery (8LI334) in Liberty County, Florida. Landscape data and terrain analysis demonstrates the location of the battery conferred a tactical advantage to the Confederate military. Constructed during the summer of 1863, the Hammock Landing Battery mounted six heavy guns served by three powder magazines and was one component in the line of defense to prevent Federal blockading vessels from reaching the important industrial complex of Columbus, Georgia. Archaeological investigations allowed a comparison of its construction techniques with period engineering manuals. Although many of the dimensions of the excavated structural features differ from the archetype presented in contemporaneous manuals, they exhibit similar characteristics. Artifacts recovered from the site also shed light on the labor exerted during construction of the earthworks, as well as the types of ordnance stores available to Confederate troops in northern Florida.
