Encyclopedia article about Charles Rinaldo Floyd. Charles Rinaldo Floyd, the third child and second son of General John Floyd, followed his father into battle, plantation society, and the political arena in the early nineteenth century. During the Second Seminole War (1835-42), Floyd was most famous for his excursion into the Okefenokee Swamp in the winter of 1838-39, although this campaign has often been mistakenly credited to his father. Throughout his life Charles Floyd kept a vivid and engaging diary that portrays an active life of privilege and violence in the Georgia Lowcountry.
