Summary edit

Description

Accession: 2006-36-61 Bullet, Lead, Apalachicola River Fort, Florida Lead

Bullet recovered from the site of the fort evacuated by the British in the Spring of 1815. The fort was home to allies of the British, fugitive slaves and native americans from the Seminole and Choctaw tribes. The fort was attacked by US forces under the direction of Major General Edward P. Gaines with support from a naval convoy on July 27th 1816. A shot from a cannon hit the magzine of the fort and the resulting explosion killed the majority of the forts occupants. Some survivors were returned to slavery. The remains of the fort can be found on the site of Fort Gadsden.
