Resistance
Osceola and King Philip had been too ill to join the escape, but apart from them, the leading militants were
once again free. Warriors on the verge of surrender returned to the field and joined the rebels in their flight. The resistance was reborn.
The rebels fled south, eventually making their way deep into the Everglades to a
remote settlement associated with Arpeika, the famous Mikasuki war chief known
to the whites as Sam Jones.
