Old Mobile

Higginbotham has given to American historiography a microcosmic view of one of the earliest and most important outposts in the colonial new world. The Latin South can henceforth not be ignored. Alabama Historical Quarterly The definitive account . . . superbly recounted. Journal of Southern History Meticulously documented. . . . Recommended for libraries interested in the colonial period. Choice Mind-boggling . . . a stupendous job of research. It is amazing that Higginbotham can recreate in such detail the lives of these people. All history books should be written like this.
