About this title

Synopsis

Florida burned with a hidden war. A hard, human record remains. J. T. Sprague, an officer close to events, charts the Florida 1835-1842 conflict in a military history chronicle that reads with the urgency of lived experience. Written soon after the fighting ended, it preserves details later retellings blur, indispensable to researchers, students, and general readers seeking grounded history today. This primary source war account follows the origin, progress, and conclusion of the Second Seminole War, setting marches, posts, and policy against a landscape of swamps, supply lines, and uncertainty. For readers of US Indian wars history and seminole wars military history, it offers a clear window into the US Army in Florida at the moment the nation tried to close a costly chapter. Its lasting power lies in documentation. It is also a sober guide to command, logistics, and loss. Sprague appends a rigorous roster and record book: a complete casualty roster of battlefield casualties and disease across the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, alongside officers singled out for brevet distinction and others recommended. The inclusion of orders for collecting the remains of the dead, and the ceremony of interment at St Augustine on 14 August 1842, anchors the narrative in St Augustine Florida history with rare immediacy. For family historians, it is a genealogy reference for soldiers; for collectors, a foundational artefact of American military memory. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
