Frontier Justice

Duval's actions were as dangerous as his words. Under the Seminole subagent's watch, slaving parties passed freely over the reservation -- Creek and Seminole parties, but also white speculators from Arkansas. Despite the Army's best efforts, a number of Black Seminoles were captured. Well-known victims included John Horse's sister, Juana, who lost two of her children to Cyrus Hardridge, a notorious Creek slaver.
