{"product_id":"fourteenth-colony-mike-bunn-9781588385871","title":"Fourteenth Colony: The Forgotten Story of the Gulf South During America's Revolutionary Era","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe British colony of West Florida--which once stretched from the mighty Mississippi to the shallow bends of the Apalachicola and portions of what are now the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana--is the forgotten fourteenth colony of America's Revolutionary era. The colony's eventful years as a part of the British Empire form an important and compelling interlude in Gulf Coast history that has for too long been overlooked. For a host of reasons, including the fact that West Florida did not rebel against the British government, the colony has long been dismissed as a loyal but inconsequential fringe outpost, if considered at all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the colony's history showcases a tumultuous political scene featuring a halting attempt at instituting representative government; a host of bold and colorful characters; a compelling saga of struggle and perseverance in the pursuit of financial stability; and a dramatic series of battles on land and water that brought about the end of its days under the Union Jack. In \u003ci\u003eFourteenth Colony, \u003c\/i\u003e historian Mike Bunn offers the first comprehensive history of the colony, introducing readers to the Gulf Coast's remarkable British period and putting West Florida back in its rightful place on the map of colonial America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Bunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1588385876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588385871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d","brand":"Mike Bunn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440581325055,"sku":"9781588385871","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_206db93b-df32-4363-b462-6ec646495cec.jpg?v=1777183397","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fourteenth-colony-mike-bunn-9781588385871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
