These were\\nknown as Seminoles or lost men. The Indians now known as\\nSeminoles in Florida are principally descendants of the Muskogee or\\nCreek nation, but there are a few individuals descended from the\\nMickasaukies, Uchees, and Choctaws.\\nIn the year 1835 commenced what is known as the Seminole War.\\nIn the vear 1832 a treaty had been made with the Creeks or Semi-", "height": "3363", "width": "2288", "jp2-path": "huntingfishingin00cory_0048.jp2"}, "49": {"fulltext": "THI-: SKMINO]J INDIANS. 33\\nnoles (at Banes Laiulinir on the Ochlawaha) bv which the^ ceded\\ntheir lands which they held in Florida in consideration of the pa\\\\-\\nment to them of an annuity of $15,400, and the\\\\ a^jreed to send a\\ndelegation of chiefs to see the country offered them west of the\\nMississippi River to which they had agreed to emigrate.

He then measures his specimen and linds that tlie\\nlength of his bird is i6 inches and the length of the wing is 7.40\\ninches. lie linds that the ducks are divided into groups, and the\\ngroup to whicli his duck would seem to belong was the one com-\\nprising birds having a lobe or flap on the little hind toe, the belly\\nwhite, and wdiich show more or less wldte or grayish white on the\\nhead. In this group he finds there are eleven species, but only four\\nof them which approximate near enough in size to by any possibility\\nbe his duck. These are the Ruddy Duck, the tw^o Scaup Ducks,\\nand the Ring-necked Duck. Upon reading the description of these\\nbirds he tinds that, as his duck is not chestnut and the tail feathers\\nare not stiff and pointed, it cannot be the Ruddy Duck.
