SW090 ’Pirate Captain’ Jorge Nunez Plunges the Depths of Seminole Wars’ Enduring Florida Legacy

Jorge Nunez came to Florida with no understanding of English as a language or of the history of Florida. He taught himself both. Then he decided to teach others Florida history using the English he had learned. Assuming the persona of "Pirate Captain Jorge", Nunez places a heavy emphasis on the Seminole Wars in his episode choices. With a small crew in tow, Captain Jorge voyages (or, usually, drives) toward battles and sites of the Seminole Wars. He researches and interviews experts and produces video segments for his YouTube Channel. Episodes include the Dade Battle, Fort King, Camp Monroe, the Bulow Sugar Plantation, the old town and war site of Micanopy, and Camp Cooper. He joins us to fill us on in what he has covered and what he still wants to reveal about the Seminole Wars in Florida history. 

 

Captain Jorge literally plunges the depths to discover Florida's Seminole War history.
