Great article, learned a few things from it!

Did Merrill (of Merrill Lynch) do anything of interest? If I recall, Merrill Rd is names after him.

I'd also add the Battle of Olustee (not many battles were fought this far down AFAIK)
and the Okeefenokee swamp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okeefenokee
It has a great history!
