Seminole Indian War Sites were manned by both military and civilians during the three Seminole Indian Wars in the early 1800's and some were later used as camp and fortification sites during the War Between the States; by both Confederate and Union soldiers and are a part of that period of history with many now protected and preserved by civilian and state authorities as well. I was with such sites that James Gray began his years of research in Florida, not only locating many unknown sites, but also documenting and recording many of them with the office of the Division of Archives and History in the State of Florida. Being recognized by Florida state officials allowed the Florida Historical Research Foundation to approach private property owners about suspected fortification sites that might lie on their land. As a result many lost sites were rediscovered, completely mapped and state authorized records filed revealing their location and existence; preserving some for future state parks.

This is the SECOND volume of Seminole Indian War Forts and villages. It is a combination of MISSED forts (a few) from earlier Central Florida research - as well as NEW locations throughout the State. This completes ALL sites found in the entire State. This book contains Indian Villages, forts, and battle sites (if noted by the surveyor) as found in the Survey Plats from the 1830s-1850s era. In addition, this book will show the original survey drawings, and includes a modern map showing the location PER the survey records. Will this be exact? Perhaps not, however, it will be crucial information to assist further research. Enough geological information is offered by both the old and modern maps ? that should assist in noting a shift to the actual location ? or provide enough primary information to assist a site survey. Starting with good primary records is so important.

This book contains images of original surveys for the state of Florida, focusing on Seminole Indian War fort or camp locations. Once a fort is located on a survey plat, a modern map is aligned with the survey. This allows for a more accurate location of the fort. Then the modern map and original survey are layered to show the precise location. Also roads, Indian villages and mounds, are mapped and included. Not every fort was noted what the surveyors were in the process of their effort, however, when they did make note, having this primary record is certainly insightful.
