A Tropical Frontier: The Last Caloosa

By Tim Robinson

Book Overview

(Rating: PG-13) The proverbial fork in the road: which path to follow? Bridges burned. No turning back. One can never know to where a single, momentary decision might lead.

The mighty Caloosa people - undisputed overlords of the lower Florida peninsula, supreme in their resistance to the encroaching Spanish Empire - had lived and flourished along these verdant, tropical shores for a thousand years. As they, a people united, had watched the Spanish warships sail away that day, the mortally wounded Admiral-Governor Ponce de Leon onboard, a Caloosa arrow in his thigh, they had celebrated, victorious, unaware that they were witnessing the birth of their own demise.
Three hundred and fifty years later, living along the shores of a winding jungled creek, the Caloosa's once great numbers had dwindled to two: one named Purple Flower, and a boy named Little Chief, grandson of the notorious Chekeika, King of the Spanish Indians.
