Through Swamp and Glade: A Tale of the Seminole War

Through Swamp and Glade: A Tale of the Seminole War, written by Kirk Munroe, recounts the true story of Coacoochee during the Seminole War (1835-1842), the longest conflict between the United States and Native Americans. The narrative focuses on the remaining Seminole tribe members who, after being largely removed to the Indian Territory, sought refuge in the Big Cypress Swamp. The book highlights their struggle for survival and the challenges they face from encroaching white settlers, raising questions about their future and the possibility of conflict. Munroe's work provides a historical perspective on this significant period in American history.
