The Final Campaign of the American Revolution: Rise and Fall of the Spanish Bahamas

xi, 149 pp. "While in manuscript form, The Final Campaign of the American Revolution was awarded second prize in the 'Spain and America in the Quincentennial of the Discovery' 1989 awards competition sponsored by the Spanish Embassy's Cultural Office in Washington, D.C. This is the first book-length work to concentrate on the colorful and important events in the Spanish Bahamas during the waning days of the American Revolution... Spain, which had not entered the war until 1779, spearheaded this Caribbean activity. It was her desire to recapture territory lost to the British during earlier conflicts."
