The Seminoles

Known as "the people who never surrendered," the Seminoles pushed farther into the Florida Everglades as settlers encroached on their land, adapting with hard work and ingenuity every step of the way. After defending their home through three Seminole wars, they never signed a formal peace treaty with the United States. This engaging picture book introduces young readers to their early history, daily life, and unique traditions, from the flat roll hairstyle to the ever-burning fire of the Green Corn Dance, plus a look at Seminole life today.
