Fort Mose...a prtion of history,
This review is from: Fort Mose: Colonial America's Black Fortress of Freedom (Paperback)
I loved this book. It gave you an excellent look into Fort Mose and it's people; especially the African citizens (free or not) of the famous fort. It goes through the forts construction, to its abandonments and rediscovery. Yes, I did wish the book was more fleshy, but as a historian I know it is difficult to get the amount of information on personal lives and individuals and I commend the editors of this book. I sincerily hope there will be a follow up of this book, as it is an important addition to not only North American History and Florida (& Spanish Florida) history; but for Black History. I found this book by mistake, and enjoyed it a great deal!

Fort Mose: Colonial America's Black Fortress of Freedom
Excellent book about a little known African American fort near St. Augustine, Florida. School age children, among others, need to know about the legacy of African Americans in early Florida history,and indeed, US history. This book is a great contribution to that end. |
