Edmund: Opening the Southwest 1815-1819

By Jackie Powell

Edmund Belote joins the US Army as a private in 1815 to gain bounty land and an enlistment bonus. His dream is to have his own farm after he musters out in 1819, after five 7 years. He builds forts and roads in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, some of which was, at that time, called the Southwest. He participates in the First Seminole War and the second U.S. taking of Pensacola under the leadership of Andrew Jackson. The story is based on historical events and people.
