**Warning: Some readers may find certain scenes in this book disturbing.**
As Florida is being established as a state, the Seminoles, a native tribe composed of refugees from Alabama and Georgia intermingling with the Native population, faces more and more encounters with settlers eager to live in the Florida sunshine. It is up to the stalwart chief, Osceola, to keep the peace and the potential violence at bay. Will even more settlers bring the strife and death that Osceola has worked so hard to prevent?
Other historical personages are: Wildcat, Morning Dew (Osceola's Indian wife), Micanopy, Jumper, Alligator, Billy Bowlegs, Sam Jones, Andrew Jackson, Generals Thompson and Hernandez, Lt. R.H. Peyton, George Catlin, and Dr. Weedon.
Local locations visited or mentioned in the text include Fort Peyton, Fort Marion (Castillo de San Marcos), and the old slave market.
This book includes a graphic slave auction, and at least one attempted rape scene.
