"East Florida in the Revolutionary Era, 1763–1785" Topic

"In 1763 Great Britain organized the colony of East Florida, which formed the entirety of what is now the state of Florida east of the Apalachicola River. Today, the history of East Florida is seldom studied, relegated to the outskirts of Colonial and Revolutionary Era literature, if the colony is mentioned at all.

Such relegation leads many to assume that nothing significant must have happened there, but nothing is further from the truth. In 1775, a violent border war erupted between East Florida and the state of Georgia; two noteworthy Revolutionary War battles were fought on East Florida soil; and three American invasions failed to bring East Florida into the rebellion. In East Florida in the Revolutionary Era, 1763-1785, George Kotlik provides the first comprehensive and detailed history of British East Florida, drawing attention to the colony's early development and connection to the American Revolution."

Thanks for this. I am a member of the East Florida Rangers (reenactment group). We do Seminole Indian War reenactments as well.

Underappreciated. However over $100 USD for a hardback?!?

Interesting. I'll have to get that (the paperback).
I have this book, on West Florida during the Revolution. It's really good (and a lot cheaper!):

Glad you enjoyed it boys…

Well the paperback version is cheap but there is no way that the hardback version is worth over $100. USD Unless it is accompanied with gold or silver.
