Unlike the usual frontier settlements, Fort Toulouse was both a diplomatic post, since its officers acted as resident ministers, and a military post. Because it was located in a friendly territory adjoining an area under a rival (British) influence, the post participated in psychological warfare rather than in blood-letting. 410 0$aLibrary of Alabama classics. 606 $aFrench$zAlabama$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aFort Toulouse Site (Ala.) 607 $aAlabama$xHistory$yTo 1819 607 $aWetumpka Region (Ala.)$xAntiquities 607 $aAlabama$xAntiquities 615 0$aFrench$xHistory 676 $a976.1/52 676 $a976.152 700 $aThomas$b Daniel H$052987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778993003321 996 $aFort Toulouse$93705700 997 $aUNINA
