3.0 out of 5 stars
Some good information, but old-fashioned,
This review is from: The Seminoles of Florida (Paperback)
This book includes good historical information about the formation of the Seminoles and about the Seminole Wars, but it's not nearly so concerned with who the Seminoles are today. It also contains disturbing, seemingly unaware antiquated terminolgy like "war whoop," "savage," "semi-civilized" and "warpath," makes claims about the practice of scalping that go undocumented in the text, doesn't always distinguish between Maskoki and Mikasuki terms, and has a really odd epilogue. Four useful appendicies. Maybe good historical background, but not so great as a recent history of the Seminoles or as anthropology.
