Deeply rooted in tribal oral history, and based on extensive interviews with descendants, this book describes the incredible circumstances of a people who sought shelter in the shadow of a tribe whose land and welfare already hung in the balance. And yet, in their tireless journey-from Florida to Indian Territory in Oklahoma; on the seven-hundred-mile flight from persecution that took them across the Rio Grande into Mexico; and then back across the Rio Grande to Texas-they never surrendered the hope of one day attaining land of their own. \u003ci\u003eOur Land Before We Die\u003c\/i\u003e brings to life the largely forgotten history of a courageous people and the descendants for whom this story is their only legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeff Guinn is books editor at the Fort \u003ci\u003eWorth Star-Telegram\u003c\/i\u003e.
