AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is without doubt THE definitive work on Seminole culture history to be found in this file. The source begins with the early Indian-Spanish contacts in the l6th century, and proceeds through an orderly progression of time periods up to the acceptance of the Seminoles by the U. S. government as United States citizens. Major emphasis in this source is on Seminole-U. S. relations at the beginning of the 19th century, the subsequent Seminole wars beginning in 1817, and their removal to Indian territory in the west in 1842 following their defeat. The historical information is densely packed into every page of the text, but well documented throughout.
