Patricia Riles Wickman

A bestselling, up-to-date evaluation of a legendary Indian leader. Named Outstanding Book by the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights. "Osceola's Legacy is significant for its geneology and archaeological study of this Native American and his interaction with the federal government during the 1800s. The catalog of photographs of Osceola portraits and his personal possessions makes this a worthwhile reference book as well." --Georgia Historical Quarterly

The author of this book offers a paradigm for the interpretation of south-eastern Native American, and Spanish colonial history, and another way of viewing the development of the United States. She describes the genesis of those North American groups collectively known as Maskoki.
