EXODUS TO NACIMIENTO: The Epic Tale of John Horse, The Black Seminoles, And Birth of The Buffalo Soldiers.

Exodus to Nacimiento: A Novel of John Horse and the Black Seminoles is a sweeping historical novel inspired by the extraordinary life of John Horse, also known as Juan Caballo, and the courageous Black Seminole people who fought for freedom across borders, wars, and generations.

Beginning in Spanish Florida in the early nineteenth century, the story follows a young boy born into a world shaped by slavery, survival, resistance, and shifting empires. As American expansion presses into Florida, John Horse grows into a leader among the Black Seminoles, standing with his people through the Seminole Wars, forced removal, exile in Indian Territory, and the long search for a place where freedom can endure.

From the swamps of Florida to the battlefields of the Seminole resistance, from broken treaties to the journey toward Nacimiento in Mexico, this novel brings to life a powerful chapter of American history that is too often overlooked. It explores courage, identity, betrayal, community, and the unbreakable determination of a people who refused to be enslaved.

Rich in historical detail and emotional depth, Exodus to Nacimiento is ideal for readers of historical fiction, African American history, Native American history, military history, and stories of resistance, survival, and freedom.
