Heritage Village hosts Seminole Wars program

LARGO -- A free program, "The Seminole Wars: America's First Vietnam," is planned for 10 a.m. Feb. 18 at Heritage Village, 11909 125th St. N in Largo. Joe Crankshaw will talk about how the Seminole Wars were hated by the U.S. military, who thought Florida a worthless place fit only for Indians, and how Seminole successes reinforced those feelings. He will discuss how and why they happened, and the surprising impact they had on the U.S. military. The program is sponsored by the Pinellas County Historical Society. For information or a calendar of events, contact the Village at 582-2123. Heritage Village is in Pinewood Cultural Park, also home to the Pinellas County Extension Service, Florida Botanical Gardens and Gulf Coast Museum of Art.
