Description
The adventure-historical novel by Mayne Reid, Osceola, Chief of the Seminoles (1858), is among his finest works. It is devoted to one of the most dramatic episodes in the Native Americans' struggle for independence β the Second Seminole War (1835), and the heroic resistance of the Seminole tribe against Americans seeking to drive them from their ancestral lands and resettle them elsewhere.
The cunning and cruelty of the white men is met with the patriotism and courage of the Native Americans. But the lack of unity among the tribes, as well as the numerical and military superiority of the Americans, doom this struggle to defeat. Against this historical backdrop unfolds a gripping intrigue full of secrets, thrilling adventures, and unexpected resolutions. At the center of the novel is the story of the relationship between Americans George Randolph and his sister Virginia on the one side, and the Native American chief Osceola and his sister Mayumi on the other. Their mutual friendship and love only grows stronger, having passed through a series of trials that fate has prepared for them. The dynamic pace of the action, vivid character portraits, picturesque scenes of nature, and an exotic atmosphere β all of this makes Osceola a thoroughly captivating read.
