Covington's scholarly book goes into great depth tracing Seminole history in Florida. The tribe was originally part of the Creek Confederacy in Alabama and Georgia. At the end of three long and costly wars with the United States, the Seminoles, as with all Native Americans, found their lands dwindling and were forced onto reservations.
