James Colbert provided ongoing intelligence to the British in the early years of the war. He participated in operations around Mobile after its capture, the attacks on Fort Jefferson in 1780, the siege of Pensacola in 1781, the capture of Spanish and American boats on the Mississippi River in 1782, the attack on Arkansas Post in 1783 and in peace negotiations with the Americans after the war. At times he served in an official capacity in the British Southern Indian Department. This paperback volume includes copies and transcriptions of several original documents including the often disputed British commission and places Colbert in his proper place as a major player in the war.
