I need a little help guys! I can't seem to find out anything about Spain's campaign in the southern United States during the American Revolution. Info on commanders, battles, order of battle, timelines, ET AL would greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sorry cpoulos, I cannot lend a hand on this one. I know very little on the subject just a few notes about the governors of Texas and New Orleans, but nothing 'meaty'.

Thinking about it. Most interested in Galvenas' battles fought after 1780, and also troop strength. A description of the Spanish uniforms also. All of my sources say nothing after Yorktown, when I know that Spain fought an effective campaign in the US deep south. My e-mail is posted, so you can just send me as much as you want. Thanks again!
