Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Osceola; Or Fact and Fiction: A Tale of the Seminole War This little work of Fact and Fiction, which traces the late celebrated chief Osceola from his mysterious birth through an exceedingly romantic and truly eventful life up to the moment of his lamented death, is drawn from a very interesting legendary account of the slaughter and almost total extinction of the Uchee tribe of Indians, which was related to the author several years ago by an old frontier hunter, while seated on a fallen tree in the midst of the solitary forest where the awful catastrophe occurred, and taken from the facts of the late Florida war, and was originally written only to occupy an idle hour, and merely intended for a newspaper publication; accordingly, the first chapter, which has been slightly altered and extended, came forth during the past winter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When he died in 1838, Seminole warrior Osceola was the most famous Native American in the world. Born a Creek, Osceola was driven from his home to Florida by General Andrew Jackson where he joined the Seminole tribe. Their paths would cross again when President Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act that would relocate the Seminoles to hostile lands and lead to the return of the slaves who had joined their tribe. Outraged Osceola declared war. This vivid history recounts how Osceola led the longest, most expensive, and deadliest war between the U.S. Army and Native Americans and how he captured the imagination of the country with his quest for justice and freedom. Insightful, meticulously researched, and thrillingly told, Thom Hatch's account of the Great Seminole War is an accomplished work that finally does justice to this great leader"--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1953, revised in 1964, and presented here with a new foreword by Arnold Krupat and new postscript by the author, Roy Harvey Pearce's Savagism and Civilization is a classic in the genre of history of ideas. Examining the political pamphlets, missionaries' reports, anthropologists' accounts, and the drama, poetry, and novels of the 18th and early 19th centuries, Professor Pearce traces the conflict between the idea of the noble savage and the will to Christianize the heathen and appropriate their land, which ended with the near extermination of Native American culure.
