The Battle of Wahoo Swamp occurred during the Second Seminole War. An army of militia, Tennessee volunteers, Creek mercenaries and U.S. regulars led by Florida Governor, General Richard K. Call, encountered Seminole forces led by chiefs Osuchee and Yaholooche in Wahoo Swamp. Call's army gradually pushed the Seminoles back through the swampy marsh. The Seminoles retreated south by nightfall and Call chose not to pursue due to difficult terrain.
