Abstract

During the 2nd Seminole War (1835-1842), Charles Paige, both a naturalized American citizen and an adopted blood brother of Chief Coacoochee, finds himself negotiating between the two cultures of settlers and natives. Though Paige gains the help of Marie Campbell, the niece of a Frenchman who “adopted” Paige, their efforts to help the natives’ cause eventually entrap them.

Local locations visited or mentioned include, but are not limited to Fort Marion (Castillo de San Marcos), the St. Johns River, and unidentifiable places in St. Johns County.
