Early Osceola Chronicles: Sage Creek Antelope and Indian Encounters
In a 19th century Osceola narrative, James Query resists Sabbath hunting as a 300-strong antelope herd nears his cabin. The account recalls an Indian family dispute, beaver trapping by diving, a beaver-hunting knee injury, a cow breaking through a schoolyard, and a spring flood that drives cattle into the Blue River with later Indian recovery and slaughter of drowned stock.
