Editor: I applaud your recent article (June 23) regarding the re-enactment of the Battle of Bloody Mose that occurred at Fort Mose Park. The information presented was informative and broadened an understanding of history not generally known. Although African Americans fought bravely in the battle, none were shown in your article. The fact that black settlers at Fort Mose were the first line of defense for the city of St. Augustine should have been reflected in your photos. I hope in the future that this fact will be kept in mind in your presentation of Fort Mose.
