Dade Battlefield in the morning
Dade Battlefield (Bushnell, Florida) on the morning of 10/4/2009. A typical morning that I have seen here many times, with the sun shining through the trees and the fog rising on the pond in the back. This log enclosure is the where the remaining soldiers of Dade's Command defended themselves to the last man.
I have participated at the battle reenactment here for 25 years, and been here many times on mornings like this. I actually visit here several times during the year for a quick visit.
On December 28, 1835, about 108 or 110 soldiers under the command of Major Francis L. Dade were ambushed here along the Fort King Road, traveling under arms to Fort King (Ocala) from Fort Brooke (Tampa.) This was the third largest defeat at one single battle of US forces against a Native American tribe in the history of our country. (The first was St. Claire in 1791, second was Custer at Little Bighorn in 1876.) Only two of the soldiers survived and made it back to Fort Brooke, while their black guide or interpreter Louis Pacheco was captured by the Seminoles.
For many years this was called Dade's Massacre. But since both sides were armed and under military command, it now called Dade's Battle.
This was one of the most decisive battles in the 2nd Seminole War for the Seminole Indians, but it also inflamed the rest of the country and started up the war. This was the longest and most costly Indian war of removal that the United States ever fought, with little fanfare or reward for either side. The costs of the war were staggering, and the Seminole and Miccosukee Indians were never completely removed from Florida.

Dade Battlefield 1835
On the third day after Christmas, 1835, a column of around 110 cold, tired soldiers marched north, headed to Ft. King, near present-day Ocala. Because of the cold, most of them had their muskets and ammunition buttoned beneath their heavy overcoats. They had been marching for five days and their commander, Major Francis Dade, had promised three days off to properly celebrate Christmas upon their arrival at Ft. King.
The march had been quiet so far and there was no sign of the Seminoles, with whom the United States had been in an on again, off again conflict for twenty years. It’s likely no one complained when Major Dade, who was tactically astute and normally conservative, ordered the scouts covering his flank back to the main column in order to move faster.
Along a half-mile stretch of trail that cut through pines, palmettos and tall grass, 180 Seminole warriors lay in ambush, an act of war for which the tribal leaders had been preparing for more than a year. Chief Micanopy fired the first shot, reportedly bringing down Major Dade himself. At that signal, the other Seminoles to begin firing. Within moments, half the American soldiers had fallen. The survivors regrouped and, under the command of Captain George Gardiner, drove the Seminoles back temporarily and managed to construct a makeshift battlement of logs. By the end of the day, however, only 2 Americans survived and the Second Seminole War had begun.

Dade Massacre - The Second Seminole Indian War
Before Florida became the Sunshine State and a tourist mecca, it was the sight of three bloody wars with the Seminole Indian Nation. The Second Seminole Indian War began on December 28, 1835 when Major Francis Dade and all but three of 110 soldiers he was leading from Fort Brooke in Tampa to Fort King in Ocala were killed in an ambush near present day Busnell, Florida The war lasted until 1842 and led to the forced relocation of most of the tribe to reservations in Oklahoma Territory. A reenactment of the battle is held each year during the first weekend after New Year's Day. • Crusade - Video Classica by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (

Battle Reenactment 1836 Westville Creek War
Filmed 5/24/2014.
Westville, Georgia, is a reconstructed pre-1850 town near Lumpkin, Georgia. It is a wonderful living history, interpretive park.
It is a beautiful setting, but in the near future they are moving all the buildings to Columbus, Georgia.
Every year at Memorial Day weekend, they have a reenactment of events and battles during the 1836 Creek War that erupted along the Chattahoochee River. The Creek Indians had their land taken by the 1832 Treaty of Cusseta, and forced to leave their home. The treaty opened up the biggest land theft and fraud in US history with fraudulent land speculators selling Creek land they didn't have title of. Even to the point that the speculators would hire other Creeks to impersonate the land owners to hold land sale transactions. Finally in May 1836, the dispossessed Creeks had enough and on May 15, 1836, raided the town of Roanoke, Georgia in Stewart County.
Apparently during the real event in 1836, most of the town had already been evacuated, and many of the local militia had gone home as well. There was only one woman and her baby in town, who hid and escaped after her husband was killed. There were only 12 people that the Creek warriors killed, none of them women. So if hundreds of warriors swarmed into town to take it by surprise and only kill 12 people, then I think the place was mostly deserted.
But this event caused panic all along the Chattahooche in both states of Georgia and Alabama. It is said the war was ended a few month later. That is the official report. Actually there were several battles the next two years, and the last shots fired were in 1843. And a many of the battles were victories on the Creeks side who would overwhelm and chase off the militia. But eventually superior forces beat down the Creeks, and forced them to remove to Oklahoma, hide among the local population if they could, or flee south and join the Seminoles in Florida.

DADE PYRAMIDS AND STARGATE ORLANDO CONNECTION
The Dade Pyramids are located in a National cemetery in St. Augustine, Florida. The pyramids were named after major Dade. Major Dade was killed along with 102 Union soldiers in the second Seminole war during a raid by Seminoles in 1835. St, Augustine established in 1565 by Spanish settlers is the oldest European city in the United States of America. St. Augustine is in alignment with the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. The Dade pyramids are connected to Orlando, Florida through Fort Gatlin were the first settlers in the Orlando area previously called Jernigans settled. Fort Gatlin was name after Dr. John S. Gatlin who major Dade's assistant surgeon. Dr. Gatlin was also killed in the same Seminole raid in 1835. The energy of the alignment of the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt appeared to me in Orlando, Florida in November 1996. The Great Pyramid layout was brought to my attention by three gold face death mask billboard signs advertising an attraction at Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay calling it Tut's tomb.

Wahoo Swamp Historic Marker
Florida, Sumter County along county road 48 between Bushnell and Floral City is this historical Marker commemorating the Battle of Wahoo Swamp on November 21, 1836.
Only a few miles away is where the Seminoles destroyed Major Dade's command on December 28, 1835. After Dade's Battle, the attacking Seminoles came back in this area for a celebration. One of the leaders of the Seminole warriors was Chief Jumper, who had his village in this area. Late that night, Osceola arrived after killing Indian Agent Wiley Thompson near Fort King (Ocala.) Osceola was not at Dade's Battle because he was killing Wiley Thompson, probably in revenge for Thompson imprisoning Osceola the previous summer.
11 months later, the US Army and State of Florida Volunteer Militia troops under the commander of General (Governor) Richard Keith Call, were attempting to find and drive out Seminoles from this area along the Withlacoochee River. With them were US Allied Creek Indians, under the command of Major David Moniac, the first Indian to attend and graduate from the West Point Academy. They reached this area on November 21, 1836. The Seminoles were waiting for them along what is today Battle Slough. The action of the Seminoles was to slow down the Army and allow their villages to be evacuated and let the women and children run to safety.
During the battle, Major Moniac was shot trying to cross Battle Slough, and fell face down in the water, and died. The rest of the forces behind him hesitated to cross, even though it was shallow, which allowed the Seminoles time to delay the soldiers and get their villages evacuated.
Eventually the soldiers did cross the steam, but their foe had eluded them. The Army had failed to capture any Seminoles. Now out of ammunition and supplies, and with heavy casualties, the Army retreated from the area.
It is said that Osceola was part of the Seminole line, but further away and not with the party that engaged the main body of troops. The battle line stretched a mile and a half along the stream.
Although not well known, this battle during the 2nd Seminole War had a high casualty rate of around 5 regulars and 12 militia soldiers killed, along with David Moniac, and an unknown number of wounded. Some of the dead were buried in the road, and the location was obscured to prevent the Seminoles from digging up the bodies. Major Moniac's body was taken and buried next to the officers of Major Dade's command, a few miles away.
