Niles' Florida: Onward to Statehood (Volume 5). For years this desolating war has been maintained within the boundary of the United States. Our most experienced generals and our best-appointed armies have been unsuccessful in its prosecution, though all has been done which skill, bravery, and untiring perseverance could accomplish.
