The Old Mobile Project Newsletter

Author(s): Gregory Waselkov

Year: 1989

Summary

Local tradition has long associated the area of Twenty-seven Mile Bluff on the Mobile River with the early French colonial settlement of Old Mobile. But archaeological research on this important historical site is quite recent. A series of newsletters was distributed between 1989 to 1998 to convey to the public the results of archaeological research at Old Mobile by the University of South Alabama.
