Excerpt from The Seminoles of Florida Mr. Willson has been allowed, and invited to go with some of their men on familiar hunting expeditions. He has seen them in the swamps, in their homes, and in their general life environments. He has been admitted to their confidence and friendship. He has consequently become deeply interested in them. Mrs. Willson also has become acquainted with some of their chief personages. Both have learned to sympathize with these Indians in their hardships, and in their treatment at the hands of the white race. Mrs. Willson began to write about them and her writing has grown into a book and she has been encouraged to give this book to the world, in the hope that the attention of good people may be drawn toward them, and that at last a true interest may be awakened in their moral and material well-being. They are truly an interesting people, living, although secluded, almost at our doors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
