Huntin' Trouble

By: Bowman, Clint

The Satilla River and Okefenokee Swamp serve as the backdrop to these stories of adventure and life on the edge of the southern Georgia frontier in the early 1800's. A land claimed by both the Spanish and the newly founded United States of America. This region between Georgia's beautiful Altamaha River and the Spanish mission dominated settlements of North Florida was a land sought after by hard working frontier families looking for new land to call their own. The Seminole tribe and scattered disgruntled clans of desperate Creeks sought revenge against these new settlers encroaching on their native lands. Though this stories are fictional, they grew out of my study of the early settlement of this region and the true events which transpired in the region and have been rarely written about. Events such as the Seminole attack on an army supply column along the east side of the Okefenokee Swamp near the Carter community, the massacre of the majority of the Wildes family by Seminoles just south of present day Waycross located on the north side of the Okefenokee, and the invasion of the Okefenokee by Georgia militia under the command of General Charles Floyd, just to name a few. These stories published here are fiction, but the stories which inspired their writing were very much real. Many more of those real stories are yet to be discovered and researched.
