Download or read book The Scott Massacre of 1817 written by Dale Cox and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 30, 1817, a combined force of Creek and Seminole Indian warriors attacked a U.S. Army boat carrying a party of around 50 people. The battle was quick and fierce and by the time it ended, only seven of the boat passengers remained alive. The Scott Massacre of 1817 was the bloodiest day of the First Seminole War and was the event that triggered the United States government to authorize General Andrew Jackson's invasion of Spanish Florida. In the first book length study of the battle, writer and historian Dale Cox unveils new source material and offers new conclusions about the first U.S. defeat of the four decade long Seminole Wars.

Book Synopsis The Seminole Struggle by : John Missall
Download or read book The Seminole Struggle written by John Missall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we published our initial work on the Seminole Wars in 2004, we lamented the fact that such an important series of events was widely unknown to the American public in general and to the majority of Floridians. Not that we should have been surprised: The war was fought in one small corner of the nation and therefore of little concern to Americans as a whole, and most Floridians weren’t born in the state and would have had little opportunity to learn about the wars. Yet it shouldn’t have been that way. The Seminole Wars were a major conflict for the nation and arguably one of the most formative events for the State of Florida. The Indian Wars of the American West are famous worldwide, yet the Seminole Wars were bigger than any western Indian war. The foundations for most of Florida’s great cities are a result of the Seminole Wars, yet few of those cities’ residents are aware of the fact. It was an historical oversight we felt was in need of correction.

Book Synopsis What We Have Endured by : John Missall, Mary Lou Missall, Willie Johns
Download or read book What We Have Endured written by John Missall, Mary Lou Missall, Willie Johns and published by Florida Historical Society. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What We Have Endured tells the story of the Seminole Wars through the eyes of Aheedja, a Seminole woman who suffers through nearly a half-century of brutal warfare, forced displacement, and painful deprivation. Determined to remain in the land of their birth, she and her people struggle against the unforgiving Florida climate and the overwhelming military might of the United States government. Written by noted Seminole War historians and a senior tribal member, What We Have Endured faithfully follows the history of America's longest and costliest war against a Native American nation. Although Aheedja is a fictional character, the sufferings depicted are typical of what many Seminole people experienced at the hands of a nation determined to drive them from their homes and destroy their way of life.
Book Synopsis Bitter Eyes No More by : April W Gardner
Download or read book Bitter Eyes No More written by April W Gardner and published by Big Spring Press. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man of abiding honor, tested by a woman of ruinous passion. A woman of unspeakable sins, pursued by a God of unquenchable mercy. Spanish Florida once sheltered Lillian McGirth from her fears. Now, it feeds them. Mercy is for the deserving; for Lillian, an unwed mother accused of treason, there is only battering and defeat, but her fall breaks softly in the arms of an unexpected arrival, a man too beautiful of soul to stain with her lost character. Captain Marcus Buck sails in on a pledge to save Miss McGirth from herself and from her child's father, a ruthless don. All the while, he’s to regard her as virtuous and worthy of protection and to guard said virtue from pilfering. But the terms are flawed since he must first guard her from himself. Regardless, he is determined. He will free her, repair her name—simple labor compared to dodging the army’s noose, mending wounds three years deep, and navigating a host of rebel Natives bent on inflicting more. Through the steady crumble of his pledge, their friendship becomes a consolation, for she knows his pain as no other can or will. Their scars are one; their paths, however, might irrevocably become two… Bitter Eyes No More is a single, complete story and is for those who enjoy saga-length Christian historical romance.
Book Synopsis Last Betrayal on the Wakulla: Florida's Forgotten Spanish Period by : Madeleine Hirsiger Carr
Download or read book Last Betrayal on the Wakulla: Florida's Forgotten Spanish Period written by Madeleine Hirsiger Carr and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British left and Spain returned to Florida after the American Revolution. A short river called Wakulla offered direct trading routes to the North American interior and the Caribbean. The fertile Muskogean lands west of the United States boundary in what were known as the Spanish borderlands lured white squatters and British and American traders. Their interactions with the Creek Indians and the role of two Creek intermediaries called William and John Kennard with a trading outpost on the Wakulla River fed a rivalry that split the Creeks into two. Who would survive?
Book Synopsis Elizabeth’s War by : John and Mary Lou Missall
Download or read book Elizabeth’s War written by John and Mary Lou Missall and published by Florida Historical Society. This book was released on with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1817, and Florida is on the brink of war. A young woman stands on the deck of a flatboat, anxiously watching the banks of the Apalachicola River. Not far away stands a Seminole warrior, eyeing the vessel from behind his concealment, choosing his targets carefully. Neither the woman nor the warrior can imagine how much their worlds are about to change. Inspired by the true story of Elizabeth Stuart, a young army wife taken captive by the Seminole during the Scott Massacre of 1817, Elizabeth s War takes the reader through the clash of empires that became known as the First Seminole War. The war is seen not only through Elizabeth s eyes, but those of her Indian captors, and of her husband and father, who are part of an avenging army bent on destroying the Seminole people. To stay alive among the Indians, Elizabeth will have to fight for her life, hoping she can survive long enough for Andrew Jackson s army to rescue her. Written by Seminole War historians, Elizabeth's War is a prequel to Hollow Victory, winner of the 2012 Patrick D. Smith Award for Fiction from the Florida Historical Society. Based on years of research into the Scott Massacre, Elizabeth's War concludes with a detailed history of the event and an overview of the First Seminole War.

But when a drone graphically kills a beloved giraffe, the public turns against the unrestricted industry. Big Drone battles SAFE (Skies Are For Everyone), which would ban armed drones and impose drone taxes. Epic rumbles rage in the Halls of Congress and Skies of Chicago, where a local cop and FBI agent take to the sky to end a gang drone war. Drone Dogs is a parable about technology in the hands of idiots and call for public debate about new technologies.
Book Synopsis A Brief History of the Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts by : Thomas Anthony Britten
Download or read book A Brief History of the Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts written by Thomas Anthony Britten and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an examination of the Black Seminoles: their history in Florida, the Indian Territory, Mexico and Texas, and their important contribution to the pacification of the Rio Grande frontier. The study places them against the backdrops of African slavery, Indian wars and frontier violence, and, using a host of archival and secondary sources, provides an up-to-date synthesis of these largely unknown people. In addition, the book provides new information, particularly about the scouts' activities in the Big Bend. Working closely with historians employed at the Ft. Clark Historical Society, Britten retraced the scouts' steps along the Rio Grande frontier. It is a major resource for those in frontier-western history, military history and the complex interaction of minority peoples in the west.

Book Synopsis Aggression and Sufferings by : F. Evan Nooe
Download or read book Aggression and Sufferings written by F. Evan Nooe and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1823, Tennessee historian John Haywood encapsulated a foundational sentiment among the white citizenry of Tennessee when he wrote of a 'long continued course of aggression and sufferings' between whites and Native Americans. According to F. Evan Nooe, 'aggression' and 'sufferings' are broad categories that can be used to represent the framework of factors contributing to the coalescence of the white South. Traditionally, the concept of coalescence is an anthropological model used to examine the transformation of Indigenous communities in the eastern woodlands from chieftaincies to Native tribes, confederacies, and nations in response to colonialism. Applying this concept to white Southerners, Nooe argues that through the experiences and selective memory of settlers in the antebellum South, white Southerners incorporated their aggression against and suffering at the hands of the Indigenous peoples of the Southeast in the coalescence of a regional identity built upon the violent dispossession of the Native South.This, in turn, formed the development of Confederate identity and its later iterations in the long nineteenth century. Geographically, 'Aggression and Sufferings' prioritizes events in the frontier territories of Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. Nooe considers how divergent systems of violence and justice between Native Americans and white settlers (such as blood revenge and concepts of honor) functioned in the emergent region and examines the involved societies' conflicting standards on how to equitably resolve interpersonal violence. Nooe then investigates the contemporary and historically interconnected consequences of a series of murders of encroaching white settlers by a faction of the Creek nation known as the 'Red Sticks' in the years preceding the 1813 Creek War. Each episode was connected to immediate grievances by Native Southerners against white colonialism, while white Southerners looked upon the incidents as confirmation of Native savagery. Nooe considers the effort by the burgeoning white population to combat the Red Sticks in the Creek War of 1813-1814 and explains how chroniclers of the white South's past memorialized the 1813 Creek War as a regional conflict. Next, Nooe explores the events between the August 1814 Treaty of Fort Jackson to the September 1823 Treaty of Moultrie Creek to evaluate the implications of persistent low-level white-Native conflict in a period traditionally interpreted as the end to the Creek War. He then examines how the Florida Indians' resistance to their expulsion from the South sparked a unifying call to arms from white communities across the region. Finally, Nooe explores how white Southerners constructed, propagated, and perpetuated harrowing tales of colonizers as innocent victims in the violent expulsion of the region's Native peoples before concluding with notes on how this emerging sense of regional history and identity (which ignored the interests and agency of enslaved and free Black people in the early nineteenth century South) continued to flower into the Antebellum period, during Western expansion, and well into the twentieth century. Readers interested in Southern, Indigenous, and Early American history will find a thorough, scholarly examination of the tensions and violence between Natives and white settlers and the construction of a regional memory of white victimization by white Southerners during this period. 'Aggression and Sufferings' speaks to scholarship on settler-colonialism, violence, Native dispossession, white identity, historical memory and monuments, and Southern Studies"--
