Living Seminole is a truly special contribution to Florida History in so many ways. Her personal experiences to present day Seminole successes are vividly described, making the reader a part of the story. And, your illustrations add much to the content.

Everyone should read it! (Public and private school children, esp, but adults too.)

Incidentally, I didn't realize that Seminole children were bussed to the Cherokee Indian School, where my aunt taught for 27 years. Her name was Anna Blanche Hamilton (my namesake), and her dates there were from c.1939 to 1967.

So, it's possible that some of her students were Seminole as well as Cherokee. Small world!
