Dade, Francis Langhorn, 1813-

Military officer; born in Virginia; entered the army as third lieutenant in 1813. During the war with the Seminole Indians, while on the march to Fort King, he, with almost the entire detachment, was destroyed by a treacherous attack of the Indians, Dec. 28, 1835. A monument at West Point was erected to the memory of Major Dade and the men in his command, and Fort Dade, 35 miles from Tampa, Fla., is named in his honor.
