| Summary | "Through Swamp and Glade: A Tale of the Seminole War" by Kirk Munroe is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the Seminole War, specifically focusing on the character Coacoochee, a young Seminole leader, who is caught between his people's struggle for survival and the encroaching dangers from white settlers and slave catchers. The story interweaves themes of friendship, betrayal, and the fight against oppression within the context of a tumultuous time in American history. At the start of the novel, the setting is vividly described as Florida's wilderness, where Coacoochee mourns his deceased twin sister, Allala. As he contemplates her spirit guiding him, he encounters Nita Pacheco, the daughter of a neighboring planter. The opening chapters introduce us to the oppressive circumstances facing the Seminoles following their forced removal by white settlers and the treachery embodied by slave traders like Troup Jeffers. The young Indian's path is haunted by the threat of violence as he grapples with changing alliances and the looming impact of the white man’s ambition on both his life and that of his friend Louis Pacheco.
