O knihe

""Twasinta's Seminoles: Or Rape of Florida"" is a historical novel written by Albery Allson Whitman and originally published in 1884. The story is set in Florida during the early 19th century and follows the struggles of the Seminole people against the encroachment of white settlers and the United States government. The main character, Twasinta, is a young Seminole woman who becomes a leader of her people and fights to protect their land and way of life. The novel explores themes of colonialism, racism, and the clash of cultures between the Seminoles and the white settlers. Whitman, who was himself of mixed-race and grew up in the South, was known for his sympathetic portrayals of African Americans and Native Americans in his writing. ""Twasinta's Seminoles"" is a significant work in the canon of early American literature and provides insight into the complex history of the Seminole people and their resistance to colonization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
