Chief Billie Bowlegs, a direct descendant of Chief Secofee, who was one of the first Miccosukees to occupy Spanish Florida.
Billie Bowlegs camp was around what is today Peeples Ranch, on the western side of Lake Okeechobee, off Highway U.S. 27 and highway 78, on Glades and Highland Counties. It is a beautiful area with high land and oaks and earth mounds.

Second Picture shows Seminole women pounding corn with a kistapee, a five to six foot wooden pole that can weigh thirty to forty pounds. The bottom part is called the keyeache. Most common meal is sofkee, cornmeal, which is sun dried after is pounded. It is than boiled to get rid off the salt. It is usually available all day for anyone in camp to eat.

For those interested in Seminole pictures, I have some very rare photos found in my latest book that was published in February of 2023. It is titled Seminole Trail of Tears. This book chronicles a five-day event that took place in Jupiter, Florida from April 1, through April 5, 2022, when the Oklahoma Seminoles came to Florida to visit their Florida kin, the Florida Seminoles and Miccosukees. This event and photos marked one of the greatest event in Seminole history. I have also covered the story, along with a photo of a brave woman named Polly Parker. She was among Chief Billie Bowlegs' group when they surrendered in 1858 in Fort Myers, Florida. Durig their trek to Oklahoma, their boat stopped in St. Marks, Florida to gather fuel for their boilers. It was during that break, that Polly and a few other Seminoles escaped their captors and made it all the way back to their camp, near Fisheating Creek in Glades County. Although her story is known to Seminoles, very little is known of her endeavors after her arrival in the area. Besides being instrumental and present during the five day event. I became the first outsider to ever visit Polly's Camp in Fort Pierce, Florida.
