This is an excellent book, full of detail, well researched and amply footnoted. I read this as another source for my historical novel.
It is not a history book, but a snapshot of Creek life about the beginning of the nineteenth century. It relies heavily on the correspondance and notes of the Indian Agent Hawkins.
Truth is stranger than fiction, and I really enjoyed the tidbits of truth that can be found here. It is amazing how different the world of the Creeks is than the history I was taught in school.
