Lorenzo's Revolutionary Quest
“It looked like a storm was brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. If he recalled correctly, any time from August to December vicious weather could strike unexpectedly.
Thomas rode at his side with twelve British soldiers behind them. They were headed upriver on the Spanish side of the Mississippi to establish a hideout so they could ambush the flatboats.

They traveled a mile farther to another wide loop in the Mississippi.MoreLess
