This article is substantially the same as one I contributed to Wikipedia in October, 2006. It consists entirely of my own research and writing. (I originally rewrote almost all of the Seminole Wars article, including all of the section on the Second Seminole War.) Therefore, while a substantially similar version has been released under the GFDL, as the copywrite holder, I am contributing this version to Citizendium.

Excellent article!

Apologies for not having noticed it until you put the related articles link under U.S. Army.

Speaking as a Military Workgroup Editor, it may be in striking distance of Approval. I need to see if I can get access to some of your sources from libraries here, or if you can suggest anything online.

It might be able to use some visual tweaking, perhaps with more subheads -- shorter blocks of text might be easier to read. {{TOC|right}} would clear up some of the whitespace at the top.

In my own military history writing, I do like to make references to other times and places, especially how we can learn from the past. There are parts I want to reread, but, for example, there might well be some comparisons, or at least links, from the mosquito fleet to, variously, brown-water riverine operations in Vietnam, as well as to more recent and general littoral concepts. Only recently, I learned about some fairly important river security operations in Iraq. I will have further suggestions after ingesting more coffee. Howard C. Berkowitz 13:57, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
