Description
Book Synopsis
In the two decades after their defeat by the United States in the Creek War in 1814, the Creek Indians of Georgia and Alabama came under increasing--ultimately irresistible--pressure from state and federal governments to abandon their homeland and retreat westward. That historic move came in 1836. This study, based heavily on a wide variety of primary sources, is distinguished for its Creek perspective on tribal affairs during a period of upheaval.Review Quotes
"Based on thorough documentary research, this book is a first-rate study, revealing not only much about Indians but also about whites and unsavory aspects of Jacksonian democracy."--J. Leitch Wright, Jr., American Historical Review
"This is an excellent study of intratribal politics, and it unquestionably will become the standard reference for Creek politics during the early removal period."--R. David Edmunds, Georgia Historical Quarterly
"This is not merely an analysis of the politics of removal, though it offers fresh insights into that much-discussed field. Rather, Green's focus is on the Creeks themselves. . . . Will become a standard reference for students of Creek history and Indian removal."--John R. Finger, Journal of Southern History
