The Original Lone Star Republic: Scoundrels, Statesmen & Schemers of the 1810 West Florida Rebellion
Heritage Publishing Consultants, 2004. Hardcover. Book recounts the little-known but dramatic episode of the West Florida Rebellion, when Anglo-American settlers in Spanish-controlled West Florida declared independence and briefly established their own republic. Bice narrates how a group of ambitious landowners and adventurers, frustrated with Spanish rule and eager to align with the United States, organized a swift revolt in 1810, seizing the fort at Baton Rouge and raising a single-star flag—predating Texas’s famous "Lone Star" by decades.
