In this episode Pete talks about Betty Mae Jumper and the making of the second edition of Legends of the Seminoles:

"Late at night around the campfires, Seminole children safely tucked into mosquito nets used to listen to the elders retelling the old stories and legends. The priceless tales of mischievous Rabbit, the Corn Lady, the Deer Girl, and the creatures of the Everglades are all written down and collected here for readers of all ages. This is a portrait of the beliefs and lifeways of the Seminoles of Florida as well as a delightful read for anyone interested in the first peoples of Florida."

The book, published by Rowman & Littlefield, features fascinating legends from the Seminole Tribe, as well as an introduction by Pete, a foreword by James Billie, and beautiful illustrations by the legendary Florida painter Guy LaBree.
