Bay Of Apalachicola

New Orleans To Apalachicola Bay (LOC)

Let us now see in what manner the British began to execute their hostile designs against Louisiana. In
the course of the summer of 1814, the brig Orpheus had landed arms and officers in the bay of Apalachicola, and entered into arrangements with the Creeks, to act against fort Bowyer at Mobile point, justly looked upon as a place the possession of which was of the greatest importance towards the execution of the grand operations projected against Louisiana.
