War in Florida

Being an Exposition of Its Causes, and an Accurate History of the Campaigns of Generals Clinch, Gaines, and Scott

Woodburne Potter — Potter was there.

Potter was there. He was wounded. His account runs from the lead-up through the fighting, and he is honest about courage on both sides of the line. This edition includes period woodcuts, a letter from Thomas Jefferson on Indian policy, and a broadsheet with civilian first-person narratives of the Seminole War.
