1.  Seminole Chief Matlo

Chief Matlo or Emathla was the oldest of the Miami Seminole war leaders. He became quite fond of Ralph Munroe and visited him often. Munroe noted "the strength and keenness of his face, and the nicety of his dress."   -  The Commodore's Story by Ralph M. Munroe and Vincent Gilpin.

2. & 3.  Seminole Indians in 'Pioneering Days'

"In the following years many of the Indians were frequent and welcome visitors to my home in Coconut Grove. They were honest, industrious and admirable people, not a little abused by the first rush frontiersmen who entered Florida and drove them from their home with the aid of our army, which was called in to 'avenge' various fabricated or exaggerated 'Indian attacks.' The remnant in Florida today is descended from the few hundred which the Government could not subdue or surround in twenty years of warfare."  -  The Commodore's Story by Ralph M. Munroe and Vincent Gilpin.
