Download or read book Army Navy Chronicle written by Christopher D. Kimball and published by Christopher D. Kimball. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army and Navy Chronicle published from 1835 to 1842, and with a second run that went until 1844, was the Army Times of Antebellum Jacksonian expansion of the United States. During that time, the country became embroiled in a war that engaged half the United States Army in Florida, Volunteer Militias of several states, support and cooperation with the Navy and Marine Corp, in an attempt to remove the Native Tribes from Florida during the Second Seminole War. The Chronicle is a primary source for the Florida War and invaluable guide for any researcher. Until now, this valuable source of information has been a mystery due to the incongruent nature of the publication. This book will give you a brief synopsis of the Seminole War stories and events in each issue of the Chronicle, with a few extra stories of interest. With the issue and page number of the volume, you can now look up the reference online from the internet sources that we did not have a few years ago. You will be amazed by just reading about the headlines! These accounts of the 2nd Seminole War are gleamed after review of over 6000 pages of the Chronicle that still exist on microfilm or digital format. "Let us leave this land to the Indians," while others said, "We are in a war of extermination!" Osceola: "if only half that has been said of this indomitable warrior be true, he is a most remarkable man." Micanopy says the Ft. Dade treaty with Gen. Jesup is the only treaty made with the Seminoles, and the Payne's Landing treaty was a fraud upon the tribe. The Battle of Okeechobee is in 1837 where Lt. Col. Alexander Thompson of the 6th Infantry is killed as the highest-ranking casualties of the war. In the rest of the life of the publication, he is mentioned. And the raid on Lt. Col. Harney's Dragoon troops at the Trading Post on the Caloosahatchee River. Four years later, the Chronicle publishes an account from a soldier who survives as a captive of the Indians and is almost roasted alive on the shore of Lake Okeechobee! Compiling a source of these stories with index will be a great help to researchers. These eyewitness accounts are the voices of the past!

Download or read book Seminole Warrior Vs US Soldier written by Ron Field and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engrossing study investigates the tactics, weapons, and combat record of the Seminole warriors and US soldiers who fought three key battles during the epic struggle for control of Florida. During the 19th century, US forces confronted the Seminole people in a series of bitter wars over the fate of Florida. After the refusal of the Seminoles to move west to the Creek Reservation in Mississippi, the US government sent troops to bring Florida under federal control, marking the beginning of the Second Seminole War. On December 28, 1835, troops led by Major Francis Langhorne Dade were ambushed and massacred en route to Fort King. Two years of guerrilla warfare ensued, as the Seminoles evaded the US forces sent to defeat them. Ordered to hunt down the Seminoles, a US force led by Colonel Zachary Taylor incurred heavy losses at the battle of Lake Okeechobee (December 25, 1837), but the Seminoles were forced to withdraw. At the battle of the Loxahatchee River (January 24, 1838), forces led by Major General Thomas S. Jesup encountered a large group of Seminoles and met them with overwhelming numbers and greater firepower. Despite their stubborn efforts to resist the US military, the Seminoles were defeated and Florida became a state of the Union in 1845. This fully illustrated study assesses the forces fighting on both sides, casting light on the tactics, weaponry, and combat record of the Seminole warriors and their US opponents during the Second Seminole War.

Download or read book Dade s Last Command written by Frank Laumer and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 1995-08-03 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dade's Battle in December 1835 precipitated the Second Seminole War. It was the first American war fought over the issue of slavery, Frank Laumer writes, and it occurred principally because of white determination to protect the institution. In their search for runaway slaves, white citizens of Georgia and Florida invaded Seminole land and met with resistance; the violent encounters that followed led to Dade's Battle. As a result, Laumer says, the escape hatch was closed, Native Americans were removed from the land, and Florida was made "safe" for white expansion. Coupling thirty years of research with a passion to understand the fate of Major Dade's command and the motivations of the attacking Seminoles, Laumer has written a vivid account of a battle that changed Florida's history. After walking Dade's route on the Fort King Road from Tampa to the battlefield north of the Withlacoochee River--wearing the complete woolen uniform of an enlisted man, carrying musket, canteen, pack, bayonet, and haversack--Laumer can describe not only the clothing and weapons of the soldiers but also the tension and fear they felt as they marched through Seminole territory. He has also assessed the position of the Seminoles, sympathizing with the choices forced by their leaders. Laumer also describes the backgrounds of the soldiers who marched under Dade and the role of much-maligned black interpreter, Louis Pacheco, and he offers new insights on the mistakes made by the commanders who ordered the march. More than the account of a single military action, Dade's Last Command is the story of good and decent men "who died violent and terrible deaths to perpetuate a political and social evil."

The author also covers details on the combat vessels, helicopters, weapons, and equipment employed in the Mekong Delta as well as the Vietnamese combatants (on both sides) and American troops who fought to secure Vietnam’s waterways. Special features focus on the ubiquitous river patrol boats (PBRs) and the Swift boats (PCFs), river warfare training, Vice Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr., the Black Ponies aircraft squadron, and Navy SEALs.
