Meanwhile, on Florida's northwestern frontier, more populous than the northeastern one, the rupture in trade between Apalache and Apalachicola, which after the preemptive destruction of Primo de Rivera's fort could be denied no longer, deteriorated into a border war. For two years, wrote Governor Torres to Governor Thomas Smith in 1694, the Indians of Apalachicola had been harassing his Apalache and Chacato subjects, committing "many treacherous murders." He asked Smith to punish them, otherwise he himself would be forced to make an entrada (Torres y Ayala, 1694). ...Governor Thomas Smith had died in November 1694. (Bushnell SS)
