Fearing arrest for treason, Benjamin disguised himself as a farmer looking to purchase land in Florida. Confederate sympathizers assisted Benjamin as he made his way through the state. One stay included the Gamble Mansion in Ellenton." If any forum members are ever traveling in Florida this is a "don't miss." Ellenton is roughly 40 miles south of Tampa. |
