Seminoles 'War' Ends Not Ended, Says Folklore Recalled
A West Palm Beach report recalls a Florida Seminole bid to end a century old dispute with the United States. Secretary Ickes and seven Seminoles discussed land in the Everglades and monthly indemnity, while critics questioned the authenticity of such peace talks. The piece traces past Florida Seminole wars, treaties, removals, and the long friction over lands and citizenship, noting the last major war ended in 1842 after 1,500 soldier and civilian deaths and $20 million.
