Complete Seminole - Paperback

by John E. Ernest (Author)

This comprehensive work brings together the many sources of Seminole records that came into being because of the General Allotment Act of 1897, in a fashion that is helpful to genealogists and historians alike. The work begins with an extremely informative explanation of the eligibility criteria and enrollment process employed by the Dawes Commission and explanations of how Seminole (and other Civilized Tribes) lands were allotted and distributed among the eligible. At the heart of the volume are various schedules or chapters that identify the eligible Seminoles living in Indian Territory.
