(3) 4-6 This biography of the Black Seminole chief, set against the background of the Seminole Wars and Indian removals of the nineteenth century, relates John Horse's role in trying to find a safe homeland for his people and shares some of his exploits and feats of daring. Subjects such as chattel slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act are handled matter-of-factly. Pre-Civil-War-era paintings, engravings, and photos show the major players and give a sense of the time period and culture, while maps help readers follow the events of the narrative. The extensive back matter includes a timeline, author's note, endnotes, selected bibliography, and index (not seen).
