The siege of Fort Mose (often called Bloody Mose, or Bloody Moosa at the time) was a significant action of the War of Jenkins’ Ear which took place on June 26 of 1740. A Spanish column of 300 regular troops backed by allied Seminole warriors consisting of Indian auxiliaries, maroons, and zambos commanded by Captain Antonio Salgado stormed the strategically crucial position of Fort Mose. The fort was occupied by 170 British soldiers under Colonel John Palmer as a part of James Oglethorpe's offensive to capture St. Augustine. Taken by surprise, the British garrison was virtually annihilated. Palmer himself, three captains and three lieutenants were among the British troops killed in action. After the battle the fort was destroyed and not rebuilt until 12 years later.
