Fort Cooper Seminole War Trail
Fort Cooper State Park, Florida. The Seminole War Heritage Trail was completed in March 2015. This was during the annual reenactment weekend. (The balloons are to celebrate the opening of the trail / finishing of the kiosks.) These four kiosks give a brief look at the Seminole War as it pertains to Fort Cooper and the Cove of the Withlacoochee, which the Army thought was the Seminole & Miccosukee Indian's stronghold at the beginning of the 2nd Seminole War in 1836.
In early 1836, the Seminoles & Miccosukee Indians had successfully resisted removal and used guerrilla tactics to out-maneuver the Army, so that the Indians has control of the interior of the Florida peninsula. General Winfield Scott started the third campaign to try and defeat the Seminoles, which also ended in failure, as did his predecessors.
Gen. Scott ordered the Georgia Battalion of Volunteer soldiers to establish Fort Cooper at this site to observe the Cove of the Withlacoochee, a marshy area of intermittent lakes and marshes that was believed to be where the main forces of Indians were hiding. For two weeks, the fort remained under siege by the Indians until relief arrived from General Clinch. The Georgia soldiers then abandoned the fort.
An archaeological dig about 1976 determined where the exact location of the fort was, and established this as a state park. The park now also manages the 50-mile long Withlacoochee State trail which is adjacent to the park.
The park is full of many large majestic oaks. I have heard numerous flying squirrels at night during the reenactment. There is also a large indigo snake that I have seen, which is an extremely rare species of harmless snakes that eats rattlesnakes.

Confederate Reenactment Ocklawaha, Skirmish Begins
Confederate Reenactment Ocklawaha, Skirmish Begins
This Reenactment commemorates the March 1865 Union raid on plantations east of Ocala, Florida on the Ocklawaha River. This skirmish was the only battle that occurred in Marion County during the War of Northern Aggression'. A raiding party of thirty (30) Union soldiers, run by Sgt. Major Henry James of the Jacksonville garrison, traveled by boat down the St. John’s River and disembarked and marched into Marion County and attacked and destroyed the Marshal’s Plantation. While the attack was going on a servant rode into Ocala, Florida and alerted the home guard. The home guard militia company came from Ocala and skirmished with the enemy. It was a running fight from the Plantation to what was then the 'Marshal's Bridge', which is where the present day Sharpes Ferry Bridge stands, on highway 314, east of Ocala. The skirmish ended at the bridge when the Federals burned it behind
them, which blocked the pursuit by the Southern home guard. The fighting then was virtually over.
Two (2) of the Southern home guard were killed in the fighting, with two (2) more of the Southern home guard dying later from wounds. The Federal raiding party had two (2) dead and four (4) wounded. The Federal raiding party then managed to attack another Plantation} on the opposite side of the river, but did not have time to destroy it. The Federal raiding party then headed to the Union garrison at St. Augustine, FL. The raiding party was pursued in route by 15 Confederate cavalry who caught up with them, nearly at the gated of the St. Augustine Union garrison. The Confederate cavalry was able to re-capture much of the property that the Union raiding property had taken off the Plantations. But there was no reported combat between the two forces at this time. and Federal raiding party made their escape into the St. Augustine Union garrison. Thus ended the raid.

Shall we wait until our homes are laid desolute; until sword and rape has visited them! NEVER! Then TO ARMS and let us meet the enemy on the borders. Who is so vile, so craven as to not strike for his Native Land?
