Osceola the Seminole

Thomas Mayne Reid (1818 - 1883)

The brief but heroic struggle of the celebrated Chief, Osceola, forms the groundwork of a narrative which is equal, if not superior, to any of Mr Reid’s former productions; and while the reader’s patriotism cannot fail to be gratified at the result, his sympathy is, at the same time, awakened for the manly struggles and untimely fate of the gallant spirit, who fought so nobly for the freedom of his red brethren and the preservation of their cherished hunting-grounds. (Summary Adapted from the Preface)

NOTE: There are issues of race in the telling of Osceola the Seminole, particularly anti-Black stereotypes and derogatory language. It is LibriVox's policy to record texts as written.
