In 1838, Fort Butler was built by Captain E.S. Winder and his soldiers where the town of Astor, Florida is located today. Captain Winder and his troops abandoned the fort in 1839.

FLORIDA WAR.

By the steam packet Florida, Capt. Nock, the editor of the Georgian yesterday received from his attentive correspondent the following: —

Garey's Ferry, Feb. 14, 1839. — Within the last month, thanks to the energy and perseverance of Capts. E. S. Winder and L. J. Beall, of the 2d dragoons, nearly forty Indians have been taken. Among them a cousin of Sir Samuel Jones, vulgo Sam ditto; they do not appear to manifest any sorrow at exchanging the savage for the civilized life, and seem to show the true spirit of philosophy. They perform their dances for the amusement and edification of by-standers with no apparent reluctance, and frequently indulge in a laugh themselves. There is a plan now on foot, which I hope will prove the means of getting a few more of the forest gentry into our hands. Gen. Taylor expects to leave Deadman's Bay about the 20th inst. on an expedition into the everglades. He will strike east from the bay and meet a part of Col. Twiggs' command who will leave shortly from the western coast, about Indian river and Key Biscayne. The steamer Isis, now chartered by the United States, left yesterday with two companies for Key Biscayne; one of them, Capt. Russell's of the 2d infantry, the other Lieut Geo. Taylor's of the 2d artillery. The whole under the command of Maj. S. Churchill, 3d artillery. - Army and Navy Chronicle, Volumes 8-9, pg 143, By Benjamin Homans
