“At a moment when America’s leaders are both repressing discussion of our country’s brutal past, and making those brutalities part of our present, telling the story of the Seminoles is part of the struggle for American freedom. Jamie Holmes tells it brilliantly.” — Peter Beinart, author of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza

“Finally, we have the Seminoles’ story of their resistance to removal. The Free and the Dead should serve as a model for studies of the removals of other tribes.” — Daniel F. Littlefield, director of the Sequoyah National Research Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock

“A brilliant, page-turning work of history by a master storyteller….reminds us that discovering the truth about our past moves us closer to a more perfect union.” — Ty Seidule, Professor Emeritus of History at the United States Military Academy at West Point
