reviews: Fort Mose

    Return to Fort Mose

 "a unique and attractive book" "The story of Fort Mose and its free black inhabitants is important because of the challenge it presents to the sidespread notion that the American black colonial experience was one of slavery only." Journal of Southwest Georgia History

 "an excellently researched and presented book." "This book should appeal to a wide audience: from lay people to professionals, elementary school through college and university." "Deagan and MacMahon have done a splendid job of bringing a little known story of African American struggle, courage and success to the public." Public Archaeology Review

 "A time-tested booklet on a very important chapter of the U.S. national story." CLAHR

 "A well-researched, fascinating-to-read overview of the African American experience in the Spanish colonies." Footsteps Magazine
