SWAMP PANTHER is the story of a runaway slave’s struggle to remain free by living among the Seminole Indian tribes of Florida. After escaping from a plantation in Georgia and enduring many hardships on his solitary journey south, Duncan awakens one morning to find himself surrounded by Indians who meet in council before deciding to adopt him. He becomes Coo-Wah-Chobee [big cat] and one of numerous black people who joined the Seminole Nation in their long struggle with the United States Government. This book dramatizes the unique history of slaves, tribes, and families united against slavery and soldiers.
