Applications For Enrollment of Seminole Newborn Volume I
Author: Jeff BowenPublisher:
ISBN: 9781649680525
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
These applications represent one component of the larger body of applications for Enrollment of the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes, 1898-1914 (Dawes Commission). The term "newborn" referred to each Seminole individual living within a qualified household who was four years of age or less and not an orphan--up to the time that the President awarded the land allotments. Under this definition each Seminole newborn was to receive 40 acres of Indian Territory. The applications found in National Archive Film M-1301, Rolls 401-402 and transcribed in this series contain more information and establish family relationships not found on the census cards in National Archive film M-1186, the basis for the seminal title Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory [and] Index to the Final Rolls. According to language of the Dawes Commission found on the National Archives microfilm, "On May 1, 1905, as previously announced, an office was opened for the enrollment of children at Wewoka, Indian Territory the tribal capital. The office was maintained until midnight June 2, and applications for the enrollment of 414 children received. Of this number, 270 were children by blood of the Seminole Nation and 144 were children of Seminole freedmen. Two hundred applications of the former class have been approved by the Commission and the names of the applicants included upon a schedule transmitted for department approval on June 28. The remaining applications will be passed upon as rapidly as possible . . . ." Unlike the case of the Creek and Cherokee, who resisted various provisions of the Dawes Allotment Act because it purported to dissolve the Five Civilized Tribes as social units, Seminole enrollment was a relatively simple matter following the tribe's willingness to work with the Dawes Commission as early as 1898. The transcriptions include all correspondence associated with successful Seminole claimants. The applications include the names of parents, doctors, lawyers, midwives, and other Seminole relatives whose identities were divulged as part of the application process. In all, researchers will find thousands of Seminole connections in the name indexes to the books.

The Seminole Struggle
Author: John MissallPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1683340701
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
When we published our initial work on the Seminole Wars in 2004, we lamented the fact that such an important series of events was widely unknown to the American public in general and to the majority of Floridians. Not that we should have been surprised: The war was fought in one small corner of the nation and therefore of little concern to Americans as a whole, and most Floridians weren’t born in the state and would have had little opportunity to learn about the wars. Yet it shouldn’t have been that way. The Seminole Wars were a major conflict for the nation and arguably one of the most formative events for the State of Florida. The Indian Wars of the American West are famous worldwide, yet the Seminole Wars were bigger than any western Indian war. The foundations for most of Florida’s great cities are a result of the Seminole Wars, yet few of those cities’ residents are aware of the fact. It was an historical oversight we felt was in need of correction.

Through Swamp and Glade

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
The principal incidents in the story of Coacoochee, as related in the following pages, are historically true. The Seminole War, the most protracted struggle with Indians in which the United States ever engaged, lasted from 1835 to 1842. At its conclusion, though most of the tribe had been removed to the Indian Territory in the far west, there still remained three hundred and one souls uncaptured and unsubdued. This remnant had fled to the almost inaccessible islands of the Big Cypress Swamp, in the extreme southern part of Florida. Rather than undertake the task of hunting them out, General Worth made a verbal treaty with them, by which it was agreed that they should retain that section of country unmolested, so long as they committed no aggressions. From that time they have kept their part of that agreement to the letter, living industrious, peaceful lives, and avoiding all unnecessary contact with the whites. They now number something over five hundred souls, but the tide of white immigration is already lapping over the ill-defined boundaries of their reservation, while white land-grabbers, penetrating the swamps, are seizing their fertile islands and bidding them begone. They stand aghast at this brutal order. Where can they go? What is to become of them? Is there nothing left but to fight and die? It would seem not.

Freedom on the Border
Author: Kevin MulroyPublisher: Texas Tech University Press
ISBN: 9780896725164
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Under the brilliant leadership of the charismatic John Horse, a band of black runaways, in alliance with Seminole Indians under Wild Cat, migrated from the Indian Territory to northern Mexico in the mid-nineteenth century to escape from slavery. These maroons subsequently provided soldiers for Mexico's frontier defense and later served the United States Army as the renowned Seminole Negro Indian Scouts. This is the story of the maroons' ethnogenesis in Florida, their removal to the West, their role in the Texas Indian Wars, and the fate of their long quest for freedom and self-determination along both sides of the Rio Grande. Their tale is a rich and colorful one, and one of epic proportions, stretching from the swamps of the Southeast to the desert Southwest. The maroons' history of African origins, plantation slavery, European and Indian associations, Florida wars, and forced removal culminated in a Mexican borderlands mosaic incorporating slave hunters, corrupt Indian agents, Texas filibusters, Mexican revolutionaries, French invaders, Apache and Comanche raiders, frontier outlaws and lawmen, and Buffalo Soldiers. What emerges is a saga of enslavement, flight, exile, and ultimately freedom.
