Geocache Description:


Lieutenant James Gadsden arrived in 1818 and rebuilt the fort on a nearby site. Jackson named it Fort Gadsden in his honor. Florida came into United States possession in 1812 and the fort was manned off-and-on (especially during the second Seminole war) until the civil war. Confederate troops occupied the fort until an outbreak of malaria in July 1863, forced them to abandon the area. Since then, the fort has pretty much just faded back into the background as nature has taken it's course in this subtropical climate.
