I am a Second Seminole War period (1835-1842) researcher. This book was a reference in a bibliography I had seen and I purchased it based on the fact that it had good references, a solid bibliography, was well written and very well researched. This reference has been invaluable for the information that I have been able to obtain and use for my research. I would say that it is a must have for anyone researching Florida's Second Seminole War. (A Review on Amazon.com) The thing about this book is that it is the ultimate companion piece when researching the Creek/Seminole wars. You won't become an expert by reading it, but it is a great guideline for events. Very Comprehensive. (A Customer on Amazon.com)

Author Information

Chris Kimball has always been interested in Florida history and Seminole Indians due to growing up in Florida and his mother working as a cultural anthropologist, interested in Native people. After earning a degree in Public Administration from UCF, Chris served as a Sergeant in the US Army, in the Adjutant General Corp, where he learned to navigate the various systems of administration and paperwork that the Army is famous for, which prove invaluable for researching Seminole War History. Chris has also been active in historical living history presentations of the Seminole War time since college and recreating Seminole clothing from the Seminole war era, and writing articles, web pages, and newsletters. He has assisted with museum exhibits and made reproductions of outfits for museums. This timeline book was started in the mid-1990's when Chris was in downtown Orlando and would go to the library to research the Seminole War. Although it was one of the best libraries in Florida for research at the time, he found that there was not enough information available for a consistent timeline of battles of the era to use for programs and reenactments. So, he decided to start his own, which he knew would become available to everyone else. He has never stopped researching the Florida Seminole wars and related events!
