SW095 TwoEggTV is a Good Egg with Historically Compelling Stories of Creek/Seminole Resistance

The battles and events of the Seminole Wars cover fields throughout Florida. Unfortunately, in many cases, other than in some dry official reports and personal letters and diaries, or oral tradition, what happened on those fields is largely lost to history and the public. 

There is a corrective, however. TwoEggTV brings the wonder of travel and the adventure of historical inquiry into these places. Through succinct video reports, Rachael Conrad and Dale Cox, breathe life into stale reports by imagining these battles and events through a visual and audio presentation. These historians hail from Two Egg, Florida, hence their name. It is the small town that brings the big picture to history, especially the Seminole Wars.

In this episode, Rachael Conrad relates the places TwoEggTV has visited to bring an awareness of the Creek and Seminole Wars. Battles at Fort Mims and Horseshoe Bend in the First Creek War, along with the Battle of Negro Fort help explain the stakes on the eve of the First Seminole War. TwoEggTV prepared follow-on video dispatches on the battle with Lieutenant Scott on the Apalachicola River, and on other engagements in that war.
