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!
