Abstract:
The author explores explanations for Barnwell’s failure and Moore’s success. La Vere partly attributes it to the pine used to construct forts. Of the two, Moore was able to more effectively exploit the use of wood vulnerable to fire. As for Barnwell, insufficient provisions for his troops and fractious relations with Colonial government leaders also contributed to his lack of victory.
