Colonial Mobile

   Peter J. Hamilton

   William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 9, No. 1.
   (Jul., 1900), p. 65.

COLONIAL MOBILE.  An historical study, largely from original sources, of the
    Alabama Tombigbee Basin, from the discovery of Mobile Bay, in 1819, until
    the demolition of Fort Charlotte, in 1821.  By Peter J. Hamilton, A. M., late
    Fellow of Princeton, author of Rambles in Historic Lands, etc.  Illustrated.
    Boston and New York.  Houghton, Mifflin and Company.  The Riverside Press,
    Cambridge, 1898.


   This is a remarkably full and excellent account of the Gulf region.  It deals
with the country (of which Mobile was the centre) in its historic, social and
economic particulars.  It appears to be written with great care and erudition.
