Review of the Seminole WarsAuthors John and Mary Lou Missall have approached these wars in a refreshingly different manner, avoiding the limitations of a military history." "A valuable and interesting book on a major period in the development of the Sunshine State. In a saga filed with double-dealings and atrocities, neither the Americans nor the Seminoles come through these pages as villains but rather human beings caught in conflicts with no happy endings."
