Publisher's Synopsis
""Colonial Mobile: An Historical Study"" by Peter J. Hamilton is a comprehensive exploration of the history of Mobile, Alabama during the colonial era. The book delves into the city's founding by the French in the early 18th century, its subsequent transfer to British control, and its eventual incorporation into the United States. Hamilton examines the political, economic, and social forces that shaped Mobile during this time, including the role of Native American tribes, the impact of slavery, and the city's strategic importance in the Gulf Coast region. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and government records, Hamilton provides a detailed and engaging account of Mobile's colonial history.
