Image title: Seminole Chief, 'Billy Bowlegs', was a leader of the Seminoles during the Second and Third Seminole Wars. He was one of the last Seminole leaders to resist, he eventually moved to the Indian Territory. In 1858, Bowlegs and his band of 123, agreed to western relocation. He was said to have two wives, one son, five daughters, fifty slaves, and a hundred thousand dollars in hard cash. In the west, Bowlegs became a leading chief, landowner, and slaveholder. The surname 'Bowlegs' may be an alternate spelling of Bolek, the hereditary Seminole Chief who died in 1819. Bowleg's successor, chief Micanopy, was his uncle
