Hollow Victory: A Novel of the Second Seminole War

Title:
Hollow Victory: A Novel of the Second Seminole War

2012 Patrick D. Smith Award

The year is 1835 and the Florida Territory is on the verge of a major war. President Andrew Jackson has ordered the Seminole Indians to abandon their homes and move to a reservation west of the Mississippi. Called into action is Col. William Wooster, a career officer who understands that removing the Seminoles will be a long and arduous task. Standing against the colonel is Kachi-Hadjo, a determined Seminole leader who wages a desperate seven-year conflict to remain on his native soil and protect his people’s way of life. Both men fight the merciless climate, growing frustrations, and each other, both hoping the next battle will yield something more than a hollow victory.
Written by Seminole War historians with a deep understanding of this little known conflict, Hollow Victory takes the reader through one of the darkest chapters in American history, through a long and brutal war that left a lasting mark on Florida and has surprising similarities to the conflicts we wage today.

Title:
Elizabeth's War: A Novel of the First Seminole War

2016 Patrick D. Smith Award Winner

Elizabeth's War by John and Mary Lou Missall is a work of fiction based on actual people and situations. At the end of the book, the authors separate fact from fiction and identify their sources. As writers and historians who specialize in the Seminole Wars, John and Mary Lou Missall are particularly qualified to engage in the educated supposition required to "in the blanks" the historical record. This book is a prequel to the Missall's book Hollow Victory: A Novel of the Second Seminole War, which is also published by FHS Press.
