In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, black runaways braved an escape from slavery in an unprecedented alliance with Seminole Indians<\/a> in Florida<\/a>. This is the story of the maroons\u2019<\/a> ethnogenesis<\/a> in Florida, their removal to the West, their role in the Texas Indian Wars<\/a>, and the fate of their long quest for liberty and self-determination along both sides of the Rio Grande<\/a>. Their tale is rich, colorful, and epic, stretching from the swamps of the Southeast<\/a> to the desert Southwest<\/a>. From a borderlands mosaic of slave hunters, corrupt Indian agents, Texas filibusters, Mexican<\/a> revolutionaries, French<\/a> invaders, Apache<\/a> and Comanche<\/a> raiders, frontier outlaws, lawmen, and Buffalo Soldiers<\/a>, emerges a saga of enslavement, flight, exile, and ultimately freedom.<\/p>\n
