Wild Cat (Seminole)

Wild Cat (c. 1810 –  1857) was a leading Seminole chieftain during the later stages of the Second Seminole War as well as the nephew of Micanopy. Wild Cat was born Coacoochee or Cowacoochee to King Philip (or Ee-mat-la) in Yulaka, a Seminole village along the St. Johns River in northern Florida around 1810. Wild Cat may have had a twin sister who died at birth and, having been born a twin, he was regarded by the tribe as being particularly gifted. As tensions mounted between Seminoles and local settlers following the purchase of Florida by the United States in 1821, Seminole tribes encouraged the escape of slaves in neighboring Georgia in reaction to encroaching settlers who began settling on the Florida coast previously occupied by Seminoles.
