SW0157 Podcast Anniversary Highlights Guests’ Breadth, Depth of SemWar Knowledge

Seminole Wars Authority

This episode marks an anniversary for the podcast: Three full years’ worth of the Seminole Wars Authority.

We have done as we said we would do when we set out on this long march. We canvassed far and wide for authorities in possession of the knowledge about the Seminole Wars. Some are historians, John Missall and Jesse Marshall and Chris Kimball. Some are professors, Dr. Jim Cusick and Dr. Joe Knetsch, among many others. Some are artists, such as Johnny Montgomery and Jackson Walker. Some are just self-described regular guys with an interest in living history presentations of this conflict, fellows such as citizen-scholar Jeff Snively and truck driver and surveyor Jerry Morris. Oh yes, we’ve also interviewed a long list of re-enactors – never call it cosplay, if you value your life. All have something interesting to say and meaningful to contribute to the conversation. Chris Kimball, whom along with Jesse Marshall knows everything, understands everything, and recalls everything about the Seminole Wars tells me he always learns something new and useful from listening to a Seminole Wars podcast. That’s a gold medal to my chest.

Steve Rinck, Seminole Wars Foundation president, helms this episode with longtime host Patrick Swan.

This podcast is recorded at the homestead of the Seminole Wars Foundation in Bushnell, Fla.
