THE DAILY TAR HEEL TUESDAY, MARCH SO, 1943 PAGE F0L3 Yale Publishes Johnson Volume On West Florida A volume comprising "the first careful study" of the gulf coast region in West Florida in the days immediately preceding the Revolutionary War has just been published by the Yale University Press.

Migrants Energetic migrants from near ly all of the American colonies poured into an area already set tled by several strong Indian tribes, creating a difficult situa tion for the English officials. Frontier conditions prevailed: hungry Indians demanded enter tainment from the governors; white traders sold forbidden goods to the Indians; and large fortunes were made in land speculation. But amid the rough and often disturbed conditions there the colonists set up homes, schools, churches and businesses, laying the foundations for permanent prosperity. The author's research has created the first careful study of the colony from masses of papers and documents located in widely scattered libraries from Yale to Michigan and New Orleans. Dedication Political democracy developed with a council and a legislature and the usual squabbles with the governors.
