Talk:Siege of Pensacola

Thanks for getting this one started. What would you think about renaming it the Siege of Pensacola? — admin • talk  19:18, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't have a particular opinion. I titled it "Battle of Pensacola" after the Wikipedia version. — dscosson • talk  19:35, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it's more accurate (that's what FHQ tends to call it) and helps disambiguate. Will move. — admin • talk  19:37, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

You know, I had always heard it was Fort George that had its powder magazine detonated, but it was apparently the Queen's Redoubt to the northwest. — admin • talk  07:48, 18 March 2009 (CDT)

What yo ev'dence on that? I had got a source be sayin' othawise. — dscosson • talk  14:49, 22 March 2009 (CDT)

Marley's Wars of America is where I got it. There were actually two redoubts on slightly higher ground to the northwest, the Queen's Redoubt and the Prince of Wales Redoubt, but I think maybe sometimes the whole string of fortifications was referred to collectively as "Fort George." If Marley's recount is accurate, that may explain the confusion. What's your source? — admin • talk  15:09, 22 March 2009 (CDT)

Quesada's History of Florida Forts repeats the Queen's Redoubt version as well. — admin • talk  15:15, 22 March 2009 (CDT)
