Battle of Ocheesee
Battle during Seminole Wars, Florida, US
The Battle of Ocheesee took place on a bluff overlooking the Apalachicola River, in northwest Spanish Florida, beginning in December of 1817. The shooting part of the battle lasted almost a week, but the engagement lasted "weeks" and was "the longest sustained engagement of the Seminole Wars". The name comes from the bluffs that overlook the river, from which one party of marksmen waged their attack.
