Stories

Notes: Garbling of events from the First (1814-1818) and Second (1835-1842) Seminole Wars. Features the assault on "Fort Apalachicola" (the so-called "Negro Fort" on the Apalachicola River) in 1816, when Florida (as pointed out in the story) was still Spanish territory. However, an introductory note on the splash places the events after 1832; the fort is placed in the Everglades of southern Florida instead of the Panhandle; and the story ends with the capture of Osceola (1804-1838), which actually occurred in 1837.
Feature: The History of the U.S. Marine Corps
