BGES – 2026 Other Program Schedule
BGES’S 2026 FIELD UNIVERSITY PROGRAM
The War of 1812 on the Gulf Coast: Pensacola, Mobile, Fort Mims, Fort Sinquefield, and New Orleans | A BGES Field University Program with Mike Bunn | March 11–15, 2026; from Spanish Fort, Alabama [hotel included with this tour!]
This grand voyage through Gulf Coast history explores pivotal sites in four states where the Revolutionary War, Creek War, War of 1812, and Civil War unfolded, with a special focus on the all-important but little-understood War of 1812.
The unheralded regional campaigns of the War of 1812 and the interrelated Creek War will guide our travels. We will visit such iconic places as Fort Mims, site of one of the most decisive Native American victories over U.S. forces; and the Chalmette Battlefield outside New Orleans, where Andrew Jackson won one of the most lopsided victories in U.S. history.
