We have devoted several episodes in our podcast the Fort at Prospect Bluff, known best as the “Negro Fort” on the Apalachicola River in Florida’s panhandle. During the War of 1812, the British also built a smaller fort, which historians dub Nicolls’ Outpost. They and their Seminole allies used this as a base to conduct offensive operations into Georgia and Alabama during that conflict. Seminole Indians later used it to stage attacks on the US Army in the First Seminole War. And Historian Dale Cox is here to tell us all about it. His new, hardback edition of Nicoll's Outpost, is expanded from the softcover, with additional chapters and revised content. It is now available from booksellers.
