 A short time later in 1836, General Winifred Scott moved General Abraham Eustis' troops to the Peliklakaha area to destroy the Seminoles.General Eustis and his troops burned Peliklakaha; no Seminoles were killed as Peliklakaha's population fled to the Wahoo Swamp before Eustis’ forces arrived.General Eustis would later commission a painting depicting the burning of Peliklakaha, which later was hung in the Library of Congress.
