Light a Distant Fire

by Lucia St. Clair Robson

Overview

Threatened with forced removal from their Florida homeland, the Seminole and Miccosukee Indians took up arms. Using alligator swamps to their advantage, they fought the U.S. Army to a standstill. Unable to win military, General Thomas Jesup captured his enemies under flags of truce. With most of their people transported west, fewer than a hundred remained hidden in the heart of the Everglades, members of the only tribe never to surrender.

Editorial Reviews

"Robson, as few writers could, does full justice to the tragic, but splendid story of the Seminoles' fight for their homeland
