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)
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)

- 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)
