LIFE AMONG THE INDIANS.
THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS AMONG T1IE
SEMINOLE INDIANS.
THEIR VILLAGES, OP HIVING COSTUMES, LAN
GUAGE ORIGIN OP THE TRIBE,
During the spring and summer of 1879
the editor of the Schley Counry News,
(at that time connected with the editorial
staff of the Tallahassee Fla. Floridian,
one of the oldest journals in the South,)
made an extended tour of South Florida,
penetrating the. then, almost unknown
Everglades that cover the extreme South
ern peninsula and inhabited only by the
Seminole Indians and wild beast, visiting
the homes of the uncivilized red man,
eating, drinking, sleeping among them
learning their language and writing
them up for that staunch old pioneer in
Southern journalism..
A little more than 10 years have elapsed
since then, the progress of civilization
has steadily moved on in that direction,
railroads, town and cities now cover
what was then an immense pine forests,
but the Everglades still remain unbroken
and the Seminole Indians, who are just
about as far advanced now as when Co
lumbus discovered America, hold un
disputed sway. They are governed by a
chief and his sub-chiefs, hold a few ne
gro slaves, whose ancestors were either
bought or stolen from the whites before
the war and have nothing whatever to
do with the laws of Florida or the white
people, except to come out accasionally
and exchange skins for tobacco, whiskey
and amunition. After spending vast
sums of money and losing many brave
soldiers in trying to capture them and
send them out West to the Indian Terri
tory. the United State Government gave
it up as a bad job and deeiced to let them
rip.
Old Tusteenuggee and Chipco have
both passed over into the “Happy hunt
ing grounds” since we were among them
and other changes have taken place, hut
some of our friends seem to think that
the letters published then will he inter
esting to a large number of the readers of
the News even at this late late day. So
we publish them.
DOWN IN THE EVERGLADES
“Leaving my wife, little daughter,
wagon and horses with the paie-laced
brethren on the Caloosa hatchee, I hired
a Mustang 'pony, armed myself with
about two dozen words of the indian
the indispensable mosquito liar, and
launched forth into the forest ill quest
of the aborigines of American soil. Ac
com j anied by two splendid specimens of
the genus cow-boy I splashed along for
sixty-five miles through water from two
inches deep to swimming, till we reach
ed an old Indian village entirely deserted.
Here I parted with my friends of the
cow-boy persuasion, who took an oppo
site direction in order to reach she Kis
simmee settlements before their limited
supplies were exhausted.
All alone, I struck out at a brisk pace
across the prairie, ai^pl was not long in
finding the object of my search,
A REAL LIVE INDIAN VILLAGE,
composed of fifteen “chocoes” made by
sticking up forked stakes and covering
with palmetto leaves. No system what
ever is observed in the arrangement of
these huts, Each Indian builds his
choco wherever and in whatever posi
tion suits his fancy, without the slight
est regard as to what angles it bits with
its neighbor. No flooiing is used but
the naked ground. Nothing whatever
in the way of chairs, beds or furniture
of any kind is used. The‘ noble red
man” sits flat on the ground and “lets
his legs hang over.” His bed is a bear
or panther skin thrown on the ground.
His household goods are few indeed—his
gun, ammunition, bows, arrows, and a
few articles of clothing are suspended
from the roof of his hut by buckskin
strings. His kitchen furniture consists
of a few brass kettles, wooden spoons
and a mortar and pestle. A scaffold is
Used to keep these things out of reach of
the hogs and worthless dogs that seem to
be a part and parcel of every Indian
family. The warrior is decidedly a gen
tleman of leisure, all the work (when
any at all is dene) being performed by
the squaws. He has nothing to do Put
