- Description:
- The Okefenokee incursion of 1838-39, led by Charles Rinaldo Floyd, ultimately was deemed a success, not because of the defeat of the Seminoles within its borders but because, by virtue of entering the swamp, Floyd claimed its expanse for the state of Georgia.
Drawing of Charles Rinaldo Floyd and his horse. He is depicted wearing a military uniform of a cropped jacket, breeches, tri-cornered hat and tall boots. Another soldier is drawn in the background standing near two cannons.
Floyd, the third child and second son of General John Floyd, followed his father into battle, plantation society, and the political arena in the early nineteenth century. The Okefenokee incursion of 1838-39, led by Floyd, ultimately was deemed a success, not because of the defeat of the Seminoles within its borders but because, by virtue of entering the swamp, Floyd claimed its expanse for the state of Georgia. - Metadata URL:
