Indian raids and deadly clash near St Augustine in Florida
Details from the St Augustine News recount a raid by sixteen to twenty Indians on Col Hanson’s plantation two miles from the city. They looted blankets and winter clothes, attempted to burn buildings, and fled after encounters with hunters. A sentry fired on the intruders, wounding Lt Graham and killing Serjeant Wolcott, with Lt Brown and a small guard aiding the defense. The incident prompts questions about protection for the plantation and measures to pursue the attackers.
