The White Flag and the Second Seminole War
In 1837 the Seminole leader Osceola was captured by
General Hernandez near Florida’s Old Kings Road.
The white flag of truce was flying over his camp, south of
Moultrie Creek near St. Augustine Florida. Osceola’s
small group was taken to the great fort at St. Augustine
and later sent to Charleston where he died.
The white flag of truce was debated in Congress, the
Court of England and European capitols throughout the
world. This spot on Old Kings road was written of in
the press and in a multitude of books. The location was not
again visited by the Seminoles for many years.
Here is the story as told by the great Seminole. Discover
much that will be new in this historical fiction account
strongly based on fact. This little known war lasted
over seven years, brutal and costly to the new American
army as they discovered a new type of conflict in a place
they were not prepared to be.
Osceola and his family were chased by war and the army from their home across Georgia, Florida to the Peace River area where he grew to manhood. He wished to discover more about these white men. They called him Powell saying he was mostly white. Osceola never agreed as his Indian name was Asi Yahola, or Black Drink Singer. As a young man he often aided the army at Fort King (Ocala Florida today). Soon the relentless pressure of the white men seeking slaves and land forced the young man into a terrible war. While he was never a chief of the Seminoles, Osceola became a great war leader.
Florida author Bill Ryan brings you a new story spoken directly to you by Osceola. It presents a new and well researched picture of this great leader and his followers who were often Black Seminoles, and other leaders such as John Horse.
Original and some never before published maps aid the reader in following the travels and life of Osceola. This is a true story, well told in a unique manner that begins at a rarely visited spot on abandoned Old Kings road, just south of Moultrie Creek in St. Augustine. Here the spirit of Osceola rests awaiting the dawn.
"Osceola" the third of a book series by Bill Ryan that cover historic events along The Old Kings Road which was first built before the American Revolution and remained as the main entry way to Florida right up to 1914. The tradition and spirit of this great Seminole leader still remains on this now abandoned historic site just South of St. Augustine Florida.
