A complete history of the Creek Indians during the colonial period. "The Creek Indians, who occupied Alabama, Georgia, and much of northern Florida from the earliest days of Spanish exploration to shortly after the American Civil War, were a power to be reckoned with by Spain, France, and Britain in their efforts to gain control of that area. ... Stressing the Creek political institutionalism and diplomacy, this work makes available the most complete story of the emperorship of Cowera, the rapacious 'Queen' Mary Musgrove, and the rise to leadership of Alexander McGillivray. Indian personalities of old fame rise on the scene to share the spotlight with the wigged governors against whom they struggled to maintain autonomy for their people." (dj).
