The book delves into the history of British rule in West Florida and its interactions with Spanish colonialism, focusing particularly on the settlement of Pensacola and the indigenous Creeks.

The opening of the narrative introduces the expedition of Panfilo de Narvaez in 1528, illustrating the challenges faced by early European explorers and settlers.
