It would appear that I am beginning to write a whole lot about the War of 1812 in western Florida now. Much of the history so far has involved Nicholls' Post and the Corps of Colonial Marines.
From Wikipedia.
Fort Gadsden is located at Franklin County, Florida, on the Apalachicola River. The site contains the ruins of two forts and it has been called many names over the years: Prospect Bluff Fort, Nicholls Fort, Blount's Fort, British Post, Negro Fort, African Fort and Fort Apalachicola.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is located in the Apalachicola National Forest which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
It became a National Historic Landmark in 1972.

Battle of New Orleans.
