Re: Hypocrosy of Revisionist Progressives

None on Mallory's house. It was gone way before I was born. I believe it was located across the street and catty cornered from the Perry House. Strange sort of unsult to injury it was right next to what was our Federal Courthouse til the new one was built a few years ago.
If what I've read is correct, Neil Dow used Mallory's house as headquarters and from there ran the "Piano Raids". Seems he had a fetish for them and stole almost every one in town. A few he shipped back to Maine and had some other piece of furniture crafted from them. Nasty little man stole the china and silverware from our oldest Spanish family homes and put em on a ship in the harbor to take North. The Captain wouldn't take em and had them tossed overboard. They're in the silt in Pensacola Bay to this day. It was the little things, like bad manners that made it difficult for the South to 'get over' the 'occupation'.

I have tried to find 'Camp Jackson'. Problem is, with Andy J being here a few times and staying all over like he did, there's more than one. I do believe the one you may be looking for was in what is now Navy Point (the post WWII subdivision and the best place on earth to be a kid in and I know that for a fact) and it was probably, best guess by a couple of historians on the tip of Bayou Grande almost facing NAS Pensacola's main gate across the water. But---- it could also have been on NAS proper outside of the walls of Ft Barrancas. We locals have too much information sometimes. Too many choices-----:) No proof! :( Too much Jackson.
I think, and it's a big 'think', some paperwork my son in law is reading now and is going to give to me may have some really neat stuff in it on the action that went on in the North end of the county when the Yanks chased the Rebs. Location on some campsites and such. Trouble is, it was written by a gentleman (now deceased) on his early memories in the Gonzalez and Cantonment area. I believe Bob Bradley on the Alabama board knew him and probably knows more than I do on those subjects.
