Following the jungle path that ran along the Suwannee River, a group of runaway slaves travel the road to liberty--and discover a new way of life among the Seminoles of Florida. Here, in the tropical wilderness of warring Spaniards and Indians, hunters and cotton planters, a civilization grows. Greed and war will divide a nation, even as powerful bonds of love and friendship that will last a lifetime are forged. And here, a young Seminole will grow to manhood to become a legendary warrior.
