The Florida Indian War.

Here is a subject I know little about, as my field is the Civil war, so we’ll learn together. This page will deal with the men that fright in this war, and the steamboats that took them to the war. This page will have a little something for ever one. This page will help those who are looking for a ancestor who may own or was a captain of one of these boats. Although there are no names of the owner or captains, that’s ok I know some of the names of these boats and have ran over these boats before and with a little research it shouldn’t be that hard to find out, some of them? This information will also help those looking for a ancestor that fright in the wars. This page may help those who are doing research on this war, for a book or doing a research paper.

Note. These information will come from the many departments of the Library of Congress.

Added note. Some of these names may have added information on them, so for those of you who find a ancestor and would like to know if there is more info on him can find my address in my profile, I will be glad to hear from you, and for those of you who have a question of any kind I’ll be glad to hear from you as well.
