This classic history of the Second Seminole War has been a rare collector's item, and nearly impossible to find at any price. Now this affordable reproduction in a quality paperback edition from the Seminole Wars Historic Foundation adds a portrait of the author and a drawing of Fort King from his journal.

Dr. Joe Knetsch, Historian for the Florida Governor and Cabinet, writes: "The study of the Second Seminole War begins and ends with the writings of John T. Sprague. . . . It can truly be said that without this volume, any understanding of the Second Seminole War has no foundation. It is simply that essential."
