Here hewas in constant service, and distinguished himself for his discretion andgallantry in circumstances of the most trying difficulty and peril. Hisentire career won for him universal esteem and confidence. The greatest achievement of Colonel Taylor in Florida^was his victoryof Okee-Chobee, which was gained on the 25th of December, 1837.The action was very severe, and continued nearly four hours. The Indi-ans, under the command of Alligator and Sam Jones, numbered about700 warriors, and were posted in a dense hammock, with their front cov-ered by a small stream, almost impassable on account of quicksands, andwith their flanks secured by swamps that prevented all access.
