Currently, I am investigating a lumber mill in northwest Florida that was
occupied from roughly 1763 until 1821, during the colonial occupation of
Pensacola.  Certainly, one of the most valuable aspects of this industrial
complex is the presence of slaves as indicated upon an 1816 map of the site.
I have conducted both survey and testing and have located what appears to be
the overseer's residence and several associated slave cabins based upon
historical and archaeological data.

This research is being conducted as part of my thesis.  Therefore, I am
looking for sources either primary or secondary, historical or
archaeological, books or articles, that relate to mills, mines, etc.,
particularly indicating the presence of both settlers and slaves.  Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
