LIFE AMONG THE INDIANS.
♦
IThese Sketches of Indian life were origi
nally written for the Floridian in 18751 while the
writer now Editor of the Schley countv News
was among them.]
Arriving at Fort Myers next day I
was introduced to Col. Pratt and Lieut
Brown, of the U. S. Army, and Tiehke
nia t 8e< a Cheyenne Indian, formerly im
prisoned at St Augustine, but now a
student at Hampton, Va., who has be
come quite civilized and is semewhnt
genteel in appearance. This party was
gent out by the Indian Bureau, to in
quire into and report the condition of the
Scniinolos.
The Captam is a genial whole-souled
gentleman, and just the man to win the
confidence of the Seminoles if any gov
ernment agent could have done it. Ilis
experience heretofo in the Indian '‘tam
ing” business has been a perfect success,
and too much cannot belaid in praise of
bis management of the war-like horde
placed under his charge at St, Augustine,
fresh from their deeds of rapine and
murder. The Dominion of Pandemo
nium could not have turned out a more
savage and blood thirsty set of heathens,
yet in less than three years Captain Pratt
aad elevated them to a degree of civiliza
tion (hat has excited the admiration and
wonder of all who know anything of the
nature of savages.
OPPOSED TO CIVILIZATIOM.
But the wary Seminoles w r ere not to
be caught napping. It seems that they
had heard that Captain Pratt was com
ing, and had concluded that the best and
surest plan to avoid that dread calamity,
becoming civilized, was to hold them
selves entirely aloof from all govern
ment agents: this program has been very
successfully carried out. There were
several warriors and squaws here trad
ing when Capt. Piatt arrived, and live
others came to meet him, but they
might as well have remained in the se
clusion of the Everglades as for the in
formation gained from them. They
treated the Captain and his party with
cold indifference, though, when first in
troduced, they all came forward and
shook bands in i friendly manner ex
cept one, (quite a prominent warrior,
too.) who turned off very abruptly and
shook his head, as much as to say: ‘ I
have no confidence in your government
and dont wish to form the acquaintance
of any of its agents.” The captain suc
ceeded, however in gaining the desire l
information from other sources, and wi;I
leave by the next steamer for Washing
ton without visiting their homes, as it is
a long tedious journey to make and
nothing could lie gained by it.
OSCEOLA ON DRESS PARADE.
Tommy Osceola, :t young warrior cf
eighteen, a gr. nelson of the historic
Osceola, having sold his buckskins, lias
invested in a ladies fan and parasol, an l
could bs teen every day this week strut
ting along the •,Broadway” of Fort My
ers with the air of a Roscoo Conkling,
holding his parasol over him and failing
like his life depended on sixty strokes to
tiie minute. I can’t see for ihe life of me
what has warmed him np so, for there is
nothing between ‘’Tommy” and the
broad canopy of heaven, but a thin cali
co shirt and his parasol, (and his shirt is
not a long one either.) his “fond” moth
( , r (now tottering down the sir uly side of
o half century) follows close in his wake
carrying a bundle heavy enough to load
a mule, and gazes admiringly on her
“ncble” offspring. The squaws appear to
think it rattier degrading to the dignity
of their “beloved warrior” to perform
any menial labor, whatever, and it is no
uncommon thing to meet a “Lusty
Buck.” strutting along with nothing but
h’ s rtde, while Ills ido.izing ’’better .. . haif
brings up the rear, loaded with deer
skins. –e., and her pickaninny (baby)
wrapped in a blanket and slung acrosss
her back, with its head sticking out like
a coon in a hollow*
We have often heard it s:9d that fe
male chastity was totally disregarded
among the Indians. However true it
may be with other tribes, it is utterly
false when applied to the Seminoles.
I have been assured of this fact by re
sponsible men who have seen much of
their every day life, I attribute this not
so much to a purely love of virtue and
lofty aspirations as to a sense of fear,
Their penalties for crimes of this nature
are very severe and rigidly enforced.
