6	February 2025	The Miccosukee February 2025 As you drive around Florida, the impact of the Miccosukee can be seen throughout all quadrants of the State. While driving south on U.S. 41, you pass many signs saying “Indian Village”, then after the turn to the east on your way to Miami or the Keys, you pass the town of Miccosukee. These are the physical reminders of the Miccosukee Tribe, dating back centuries. The Miccosukee Tribe pre-dates Columbus... Bruce Dahlquist READ MORE
5	February 2025	The Seminole Wars 1817-1858 January 2025 Every day, whether we remember it or not, we live in an historic area.

3	October 2024	Florida History & Chronology This is an incomplete study of Florida history. The main purpose has been to learn about the early Spanish explorers and their impact upon Florida’s history and culture, as well as a study of the Seminole Wars. Different books which I have read had differing accounts and dates. Even though there may be contradictory information, the overall concept and flavor remains intact. Other interesting information that I uncovered along the way has also been included. However, the history of Marco Island has been intentionally left out, because of the other booklet I wrote tracing Marco Island’s history and development. Only early Marco Island history is discussed. The original version was dated June 24, 2020. It was revised as of October 14, 2021, revised again April 19, 2022, and October 4, 2024.
