Turner, Glennette Tilley
Fort Mose: And the Story of the Man Who Built the First Free Black Settlement in Colonial America
(3)
4-6
Although few historical documents exist about the establishment of Fort Mose, Turner builds a credible account of the life of Francisco Menendez, a slave who became "captain of the black militia at Fort Mose," using threads of historical evidence mixed with plausible speculation. Archival photographs, drawings, and maps enrich the readable and well-documented text. Websites. Bib., glos., ind.
