(3.71) | 9 | Osceola had no illusions that the struggle would be an easy one. But after years of humbly acquiescing to the white men's demands, he was ready to fight no matter what the cost. The young men would have the chance to earn war honors. Their women would have reason to be proud of them again. When "Old Man" Jackson declared war on the Seminole, he never envisioned battling a people who would become symbols of courage, loyalty, and patriotism. Led by the mighty warrior Osceola and witnessed by his beloved daughter Little Warrior, they were men and women fighting an unjust war of greed and aggression -- and the bonds of love and rebellion that united them would thrust them into the heart of a conflict that would change the world and their lives forever. "Robson is especially good at detailing the daily life of the 19th Century Seminoles and her Osceola is a charismatic and proud hero." -- The Orlando Sentinel… (mere) |

As with any novel about life of native Indians in the USA, I get disgusted with the way the Indian was treated, with trickery to get get the Indian to sign treaties and followed by broken treaty promises and in this case, Indian leaders captured only when they are under a flag of truce to discuss peace (or so they think).
Obviously, since you are following the life of Osceola as a child until his death, there are large gaps of time between some chapters. This can a bit frustrating to the reader as there are sections of the book where you become very interested but that section ends quickly and the next chapter starts weeks to months later.
Other than that I found the book easy and interesting to read and I will look for the rest of her works. (
