Those remaining retreated to the Everglades and kept themselves secluded from the encroaching white population. At the turn of the 20th century, the band had increased to about 600 individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author endeavors to give a sympathetic history of these people by discussing their history from their Georgia origins through the 1920s. The Seminoles were originally part of the Creek Nation in Georgia. As early as 1750, they split away and went south into Florida. When Andrew Jackson became president and instituted his Indian removal policy in the 1830s, the Seminoles initially battled to keep their land. Failing to achieve success, most were removed to Indian Territory in the area of the present-day state of Oklahoma.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFocusing on the remnant band of natives who remained in Florida, the author turns to describing their situation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She covers such Seminole attributes as their appearance and notions of honor, as well as such customs as marriage and slaveholding. She discusses their life in the Everglades. Several biographical sketches are included, such as Osceola, \"the Napoleon of the Seminoles,\" and Stem-o-la-kee, a woman who ventured out of the woods to meet with the author. A section on vocabulary presents a range of words, phrases, and sentences in Seminole and English.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinnie Moore-Willson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1928), 2015, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 366 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788422584\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-M2258\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42444313552,"sku":"101-M2258","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-m2258.png?v=1728590985"},{"product_id":"101-l0034","title":"Seminole Indians of Florida, 1850-1874","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll of the information in this book has been transcribed from the records of the Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs Records, which are part of the holdings of the National Archives in Washington, DC.

The contents of \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Seminole\u003c\/i\u003e are very extensive. The work begins with an extremely informative explanation of the eligibility criteria and enrollment process employed by the Dawes Commission and explanations of how Seminole (and other Civilized Tribes) lands were allotted and distributed among the eligible. Supporting Mr. Ernest's historical narrative is an extensive appendix containing facsimile documents, a bibliography, a discussion of the Seminole Town Band System, and more. At the heart of the volume are various schedules or chapters that identify the eligible Seminoles living in Indian Territory. It is important to note that the key finding aid in the records used is the individual's Dawes Enrollment Number (Dawes #). Every schedule in the book contains that number. It is important because, invariably, there were several citizens with the same name but not the same Dawes Number. In addition to the Dawes enrollment number, there is an additional identifier, the Tribal Enrollment Number (TEN). This was a number carried forward to the Dawes Enrollment Card from the tribal records provided to the Dawes Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn E.
