Coacoochee said I am here and I feel the irons in my heart. The Seminoles were barely able to move with heavy irons, hung heads, and arranged by rank. On JCoacoochee and his people in Tampa boarded a prison ship. Joel Poinsett, Secretary of War, believed the dogs to be the only way to get rid of the Indians. That dogs were muzzled preventing them from tearing the red devils to pieces. The dogs were considered soldier and therefore were paid. Cuba raised bloodhounds to track down escaped slaves, they charged Call $151.72 per dog but threw in 5 Spanish specialists. The Idea enraged some people but, Richard Keith Call s Cuban Bloodhounds as they were called.
Zachary Taylor took over and began using bloodhounds to track the Seminoles Indians. General Jesup forced Washington into sending rakes, hoes, and cauldrons and used his money to buy a chief the rifle. Those moving and protesting Seminoles, pleaded w/ Washington they had no weapons, or tool and had a hard time growing food.” Oddly enough, General Jesup protested along with the Seminoles. Mott did later display it at NY University Medical School s museum, later both Museum and head were destroyed in the fire. Weedon s son-in-law) letter will be attached to the head.3. (Feared it d be stolen from university s museum) Your (Dr. Mott said Osceola s head would be deposited in the collection and (be) preserved in my library at home. He then gave Osceola s head to Valentine Mott, who was head of the NY University Medical School. Weedon Skillfully severed Osceola s head from (his) neck, put both in (a) coffin, tied scarf around (the) neck.” As a doctor, Weedon had done the best he could for a patient dying of heartbreak, but as Mary Weedon Thompson s brother he had taken a revenge his fellow southerners found natural. Osceola was diagnosed with Malaria (yellow fever), Osceola refused Dr. Augustine and was afterwards thrown in chains. Osceola built Castillo de San Marcos in St. Brigadier General Joseph Hernandez ignored Osceola and Coacoochee s white truce flag, and instead he captured them. Many Died on the ship but not as many as were dyeing on land. For these Seminoles, the Trail of Tears began on Egmont Key, an island in Tampa Bay kept in a stockade, like refractory (obstinately resistant to authority or control) cattle, they were sent by ships to New Orleans. Women and children went to Fort Brooke for shelter and food. But, General Gaines did save face by first announcing he had ended the SECOND SEMINOLE WAR. After deciding to except it he was replaced by General Clinch. So several of the chiefs proposed to him to let them stay and the war would stop. Major General Gaines however wanted to concentrate the Seminoles in a small area and kill them, but there weren t enough bullets to go around. He then went one to defeat Black Hawk in the Wisconsin Rebellion. Then it goes on to talk about General Scott, his nick name Old Fuss and Feathers, and his Strategy to get the Seminole s into open land but they were way too smart for his to leave the protective cover of the forest they knew so well. It starts out by first talking about how much the US soldiers hated the land and the Indians were right at home. First the US soldiers steal their land and then they put them on prison ships. The things that were done to the Seminole Indians were just unbelievable. I found chapter thirteen offensive and obscene.
