My mother, even in girlhood, had
been an omnivorous reader. She
loved history best-English and Con-
tinental history, and that struggling
era of colonization along the Gulf
coast where first Spanish control, at

young Sieur de Bienville lie Moyne was
one of her heroes. For long time
we thought him living and person.
al acquaintance. The mysteries Of
death and of time do not easily adapt
themselves to a child's eager men
tality. She opened the big family
atlas to show us just how the two
brothers, Iberville from the Hudson
Bay territory and Bienville in ship
sailing from Brest, had come to our
part of the world, landing finally on
a cape very close to the site of our
present Mobile.
The Spaniards were already here.
DeSoto had fought great and vic
torious battle with Indians at Maui
villa, he had discovered the king of
great waters, the Mississippi River,
and had, at last, found dramatic bu-
rial within it. Spaniards were hold
ing at the time of the LeMoyne
brothers landing quite an important
settlement at Pensacola. From the
right given by Columbus discovery
they felt, justly enough, that the new
land was theirs. But right plays a
small part when nations are fighting
for conquest. Fierce battles between
French and Spanish ensued, the sew
eral tribes of Indians taking part first
with one and then the other of the be-
ligerent factions.
From Spanish days our little town
still conserves a few distinctive build
ings, the old guard-housc, with the
square Spanish tower which once held
the fire bell, and one or two tiled
adobe houses, set high on brick cell
ars, very far gone in crumbling de-
cay. There are at least two streets,
Eslava and Espejo, maintaining the
original Spanish names, but the great
er part of our civic nomenclature is
