Summary: | "A keystone of 19th-century Seminole scholarship. . . . Often hailed as the first 'anthropological' study of the Florida Seminoles, MacCauley's report is a baseline for understanding specific clan and band histories of the modern era, and a benchmark in a larger study of culture change among the Seminoles."--Brent Weisman, author of Unconquered People: Florida's Seminole and Miccosukee Indians "A basic work for the earliest view of post-removal Seminole society in Florida. Anyone teaching Florida or Indian history should have access to this piece."--Harry Kersey, author of The Florida Seminoles and the New Deal This classic portrait of the Seminole people, written at a time when their way of life was virtually unknown to the rest of the world, was originally published by the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of Ethnology in 1889. Clay MacCauley (1843-1925) is the author of what is considered to be one of the most informative descriptions ever written of Seminole Indian life during the 1880s. |
