Book Description
The history of the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes dates back to the 1500s, when most of Florida as well as much of the United States was uninhabited. During the early 19th century, the tribes moved into the South Florida interior, living on remote tree islands throughout the Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp. These self-reliant people kept mostly to themselves. Their struggles have included disease, poverty, relocation, and three wars with the U.S. Army. Nevertheless, these resilient tribes survived and have become a vital part of the countryís history and a unique and highly popular feature of South Florida tourism. Today, these tribes are busy creating economic opportunity for members, preserving their heritage and culture, and protecting their homeland. Ý The powerful and engaging story of these remarkable people is brought to life in Images of America: Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes of Southern Florida. Captivating images from the Seminole / Miccosukee Photographic Archive highlight and preserve their story for future generations. Readers will appreciate this up-close and personal look at their way of life. The descendants of famed Native Americans such as Osceola, Jumper, Micanopy, and Sam Jones are seen in this distinct photo perspective working, resting, playing, and celebrating their customs. Ý
About The Author
In this comprehensive visual history, the first of its kind, author and ethno historian Patsy West celebrates the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes of Southern Florida through words and images. A fourth-generation South Floridian, she serves as director of the Seminole / Miccosukee Photographic Archive, which has a collection of more than 10,000 images.
Reader Reviews
This books is a collection of photo postcards and photographics from the Seminole Tribe's picture archives. All include captions that identify the individuals in the pictures (including their clans) and explain the photo. Some are taken from photo postcards, others from photos taken by people over the years (source of photo is also given, include a date). An excellent resource. Only 'problem' is all the photos are in black and white.
