The Seminole Wars: 1818-58

Richard Hook Softcover, New York: Osprey Publishing, 2009. First printing, thus. New.

Fine softcover in glossy, pictorial wraps: new & unread. For 40 years, the Seminole people of Florida struggled against the United States' efforts to remove them from their homelands. In three separate wars, small war parties employed their mastery of Florida's terrain - thick woodlands, swamps, and a maze of waterways - to evade and ambush the US troops, while US commanders slowly learned the skills of campaigning in this disease-ridden wilderness. With contemporary prints, early photographs, and color artwork depicting the US uniforms and the costumes of the Seminole warriors and their allies, this book outlines the campaigns and the appearance of the fighting men of both sides. (48 p. : 9.75 H x 0.25 D x 7.25 W inches).
