Ron FieldThe Seminole Wars 1818-58: No. 454 (Men-at-Arms)

Very good. Added to the great collection this person has accumulated.

This osprey history gives a very good breakdown of an obscure series of three wars for control of Florida - which the USA did not actually win! Covers both sides well, including the existence of the Black Indians (escaped slaves who were taken in by the Seminole tribes) who, prior to reading this, I had never heard of. A fascinating example of Riverine Warfare prior to Vietnam. And, incidentally, the Seminole Indians are still living in the everglades today, as the US troops declared "Mission Accomplished" when losses rose to an unacceptable level, and left them to it. Another reminder of Vietnam. Very good artwork.
