The War of 1812:... and Fort Bowyer:


[Another source named the Captain as Percy -- Percy or Perry?]

From the Life and times of Andrew Jackson:

"The significance of the great victory at Mobile may not be readily perceived.  Its place in history can only be appreciated by its environments.  It was the first battle ever fought by the British in what is known as the great Southwest."

Fort Bowyer Morphed To Fort Morgan.
