Jack E. Davis, The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea
"Americans were still learning the geography of the Gulf three and a half centuries after Europeans got their first inkling of its existence. The Spanish found the Gulf, the French made its connection to the Mississippi, and the British began charting it. Finally, after America assumed control in the nineteenth century, . . . coast surveyors captured the Gulf in geographic detail --- where it lapped against sand beaches, slipped into reedy marches, and snuck behind islands up in coves, bayous, and bays. America's sea."
