Historian and Author Mike Bunn

A Virtual Talk

Author and historian Mike Bunn will discuss his new book Fourteenth Colony: The Forgotten Story of the Gulf South During America?s Revolutionary Era,

In Fourteenth Colony, Bunn discusses history of the forgotten fourteenth colony that stretched from the majority of what are now the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Bunn will have a conversation with noted historian Gene Ramsey. Ramsey co-authored Images of America: Norcross, and has written for professional and history journals.  

West Florida did not rebel against the British Government so the colony has long been dismissed as a loyal but inconsequential fringe outpost. 

Professor Samuel C. Hyde, Jr. says, “At last we have an easy-to-read book that corrects the long-embraced notion of thirteen American colonies rising in revolution against Britain. Mike Bunn’s impressively researched and well-written Fourteenth Colony will open many eyes to a startling historical omission just as it will force reconsideration of how we teach, and interpret, the American Revolution.”
