Hello Second, thank you very much for keeping us updated here, that´s most interesting what I could read already about what to find in the new book. Is it available by now or still to be published ? There´s a new book out here (2022)in Germany also about the Seminole People, a history, and it is well researched from what I can judge. By accident the author´s first name is also Siegfried, Siegfried Jahn and I have some contact to him. Your book sure will be much more in detail and offers us long lost stories that come to light thanks yours efforts. I´m looking forward on your book, keep us posted please. Thank you and best over the pond. Chicheman

I've reposted the missing images. This one supposedly shows a descendant of Billy Bowlegs. Unfortunately, I can't read what it says on the photo. An image of Billy Bowlegs that seems to be a variant on the one previously posted And colourised... Noco-shimatt-tash-tanaki, Grizzly Bear, Chief of the Seminole, c.1858 or maybe 1854. Illustration by Arthur Carl Victor Schott (1814-1875), a Stuttgart-born artist, topographical engineer and cartographer, joined the 'The United States and Mexican Boundary Survey' which was determining the border after the Mexican–American War (1846-8). His sketches, including this one, appeared in William H. Emory's 'Report on the United States and Mexican boundary survey'. They were reproduced in the 'Illustrated London News' in 1858. The image was made west of the Arkansas River.
