Synopsis
Epic poetry meets a pivotal American story in a sweeping, lyric narrative. This edition presents Albery A. Whitman’s long poem, charting Florida’s history through the struggles of the Seminole people and the voices of enslaved workers, all told in a rich, melodic voice.
The book blends historical memory with vivid verse to illuminate a difficult chapter in Florida’s past. Through shifting scenes—from quiet landscapes to the heat of conflict—readers witness courage, exile, and the deep questions of land, freedom, and humanity. The language invites reflection on justice, resilience, and the power of song to carry memory across time.
