Andrew Jackson
Undoubtedly one of America's most successful generals, Andrew Jackson is the only general who conquered Pensacola twice. Follow his armies. Analyze the topography. Armchair-quarterback his tactics. Hear the local stories about visits. Learn to appreciate why the Indians called him "Sharpeknife" and how the Spanish first feared and later admired him. He's a president who deserves to be on our $20 bill. The tour will travel by some of the surviving buildings of the period, Jacksonian battle sites, and also includes a tour inside the Quina House, which was new when Jackson first saw it in 1814.

| "Our group really enjoyed the tour. There wasn't as much congestion as we feared and things went smoothly. The video is done so well and is very informative. Although we have lived here many years, we drive by these historic spots without fully appreciating their significance. AND we did it on Feb. 22, the very date that the Adams-Onis Treaty was signed 200 years ago. Great job, Curtis." -- Harriett Sauls |
| "We enjoyed the tour. Wish we could have gone to Ft. Barrancas but we do understand. " -- April Pope |
