A thoroughly researched and balanced account of the slave experience in Florida.--Journal of American History

The greater social and economic freedom born of Spanish influence and close relationships between rebellious blacks and Seminoles set the stage for the largest slave rebellion in U.S. history. A fascinating account of a variant experience of an institution too often viewed from a single perspective.--Booklist

Rivers takes a very close look at slave society from various angles, as he evaluates not only slave life but the interaction of whites, blacks, and Indians. . . . Makes for a rich and multi-layered history.--Southern Historian

Shows how slavery differed dramatically in different regions of the state and how, in fact, it evolved over the years in those areas.--Tallahassee Democrat

Addresses how Florida's history and geography produced conditions unlike those elsewhere in the American South.--Journal of Southern History
