In E212 of FLORIDA SPECTACULAR, Cathy and Rick talk about The War of 1812, Florida along the Mississippi, and What Historians Get Wrong.  With Cathy traveling through what she calls "historic West Florida", they shine a light about forgotten parts of Florida's history — and geography, the War of 1812, and some less savory parts of the early history of the United States and why they get left out of history classes.
