JACKSON'S REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR AT THE  CLOSE OF THE FIRST SEMINOLE WAR,

 LETTER FROM GENERAL JACKSON AT FORT ST. MARKS TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR, APRIL 26, 1818:

Though the Seminole Indians have been scattered, and literally so divided and reduced, as no longer to be viewed as a formidable enemy ; yet as there are still many small marauding parties, supposed to be concealed in the swamps of the Perdito [ed. note: Perdido],  Choctawatchey [ed. note: Choctawhatchee], and Cha-pouley [ed. note. Chipola], who might make occasional and sudden inroads on our Frontier Settlers, massacreing women and children, I have deemed it advisable to call into service for 6 months, if not sooner discharged, 2 companies of Volunteer Rangers, under Captains M'Gird and Boyles, with Instructions to scour the Country between the Mobile and Apalachicola Rivers, exterminating every hostile party who dare resist, or will not surrender, and remove with their families above the 31st degree of latitude.
