Ms. Jessie K Cragg

excerpt from Introduction by Jessie Cragg - With the upheaval of 2020, there is no better time to reflect on the past, both its accomplishments and its lessons. Understanding that individuals are parts that make the whole and recognizing that each story reflects only a small portion of the greater picture, allows us to see the beauty in diversity. Part I of this edition of Pensacola History Illustrated is a curated collection of articles previously published in the Pensacola News Journal. Members of the Escambia County 200th Anniversary Commission set forth to reveal more about life in 1821 Pensacola through documentary and archaeological research. In doing so, they uncovered an entire world previously relegated to long forgotten memories.
