Présentation de l'éditeur :
"The information embodied in this volume is both fresh and important. Mrs. Willson has accompanied the Seminoles on their hunting expeditions, has mastered their language, and possesses an intimate knowledge of their habits, manners and temper of mind. Mrs. Willson has become acquainted with the great chiefs of the tribe, and the sad story of the Seminole has elicited her largest sympathy. She first develops the history of the tribe, and then passes to the study of the present condition and attitude of the Seminoles. The copious vocabulary provided will doubtless prove of great importance to the scholar." (Philadelphia Bulletin) "This book grew out of notes made by the author and her husband during a long period of personal contact and acquaintance with the fragment of Osceola's band who remained behind when the larger part of the tribe were removed to the Indian territory. The book is divided into three parts, the first giving the history of the Florida band with especial attention to the events leading up to their withdrawal into the wilderness, the second an entertainingly written account of their present condition, manners and customs, and third, a rather full vocabulary." (N. Y. Times)
