Historical
Youth]]> After the death of both his parents, thirteen-year-old Jim Brady is left no choice but to give up his chances at an education and enter the workforce to support himself in 1830s Philadelphia. The only memento of his family now lies in a pair of adult-size white moccasins made for him when he was born. However, the road to adventure calls when he remembers Uncle Matt Brady is a hunter living in Florida with whom he could live, and his landlady is determined to find him an apprenticeship! Will the trek to his last known remaining relative prove too dangerous, or will he have the adventure of a lifetime amidst his journey of self-discovery? And will he adapt to a place so different and with a more diverse population of people than at home in Philadelphia?

Some of the historical personages included in the story are: General Thompson, John J. Bulow, Osceola, Tigertail (Tiger Tail), (Chief) King Philip, Wild Cat, the Dummet family, and some men with names that indicate they could be real, or, based on real, persons.

Local locations visited or mentioned in the text include the St. Johns River, the San Sebastian River, Moultrie Creek, Picolata and the road to St. Augustine, the Old King's Highway, St. George Street, the Castillo de San Marcos, the Old City Gates, Plaza de la Constitucion, the Governor's House (Governor's House Cultural Center and Museum), and the Cathedral Basilica.

Young Rod Wheeler is a scout for the U.S. Army. The Second Seminole War has just started, and Rod is out scouting one day when he overhears some Seminoles bargaining with a gun runner! Later, during a march between Forts King and Brooke at Wahoo Swamp, that becomes the November 1836 Battle of Wahoo Swamp (in present-day Sumter County), Rod almost steps on a painting of a girl. He is confident she must live in St. Augustine and he would like to return her miniature and thank her for it saving his life during the battle. In the course of his adventures, they meet. She is Dolly James, and she introduces him to new places and experiences.

Although told from the French perspective (as with most other books about the Hugueonts at Fort Caroline), this novel delves deeply into the French religious fractions and how some who settled at Fort Caroline were Protestant and some were Catholic. Their fates were intertwined and completely different.

Other notable local locations visited include the River of May (St. Johns River) and the original site of St. Augustine (Fountain of Youth).]]> Margaret Price]]> 1955]]> Gardner, Janette C. An Annotated Bibliography of Florida Fiction, 1801-1980. Little Bayou Press, 1983.
