Meer over het boek

The Seminole Indians, alongside the Miccosukee tribe and escaped slaves, engaged in a fierce struggle to retain their ancestral lands against American military forces in 19th-century Florida. Their guerrilla warfare tactics not only challenged the troops but also influenced modern military strategies. The conflicts led to three unique wars that highlighted the clash of cultures and strategies, echoing the policies and errors seen in later Indian wars across the Mississippi. This historical account reveals the resilience and complexity of the Seminole resistance.
