Civil War 1864 "Olustee: Battle in the Pines" Full-Length Documentary

On February 20th 1864 - More than 10,000 cavalry, infantry and artillery troops fought a five-hour battle in a pine forest near Ocean Pond, Florida. Three U.S. Colored Troops took part in the battle, including the now famous 54th Massachusetts. The battle ended with 2,807 casualties and the retreat of Union troops to Jacksonville until the war's end just 14 months later.

This was the largest Battle within the state of Florida during the Civil War and for the number of troops engaged and the approx. one-hour length of the real battle, one of the bloodiest of the war.

In 1912, when many living Civil War veterans still attended reunions, the battlefield became the state's first historic site.
Olustee Battlefield has a visitor center with historical information and artifacts. Visitors can enjoy a meal at the picnic area or take a walk along a mile-long trail that has interpretive signs describing the events of the battle. A reenactment is held every February. Scenes for Civil War movies, including the 1989 movie Glory, have been filmed during the reenactments.
