Micanopy, "Head Chief", "Governor", or "Pond Governor", established and
united the Seminoles as a people in the early 1830's.
As one of the most important chiefs in Florida, Micanopy fought against
removal to Arkansas as the government demanded. The short, stout chief
fought until the pressure of eight thousand troops, disease, and starvation
wiped out his band of warriors.
