John Horse (1812 – 1882), also known as Juan Caballo and Gopher John, was a military advisor to Osceola and a leader of the Afro-Seminole contingents against American troops during the Seminole Wars. He later became a scout for the United States Army and led a number of Black Seminoles across the Southeastern United States to first Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) and later to Mexico, where he died.
