Munroe builds his story on the historical career of Coacoochee, the Seminole leader whose people fought the United States in the Florida swamps from 1835 to 1842. Raids, burning plantations, captives, soldiers and enslaved people who threw in their lot with the Seminoles all figure in a tale that takes the Seminole side more seriously than most fiction of 1896, though its language about race is of its time.
