reviews: Early History of the Creek Indians and Their Neighbors

    Return to Early History of the Creek Indians and Their Neighbors Florida Anthropologist"The foundations of our understanding of the people and cultures of the southeastern region are grounded on the collective knowledge presented in these three books. The University Press of Florida should be congratulated for initiating the republication of early works through their Southeastern Classics series. They should also be thanked. They have placed Swanton, Willey, and Goggin back in the hands of another generation of anthropologists." - Florida Anthropologist Alabama Review"Swanton's scholarship is impressive in both its breadth and detail; it is equally elegant in terms of its theoretical reasoning. The University Press of Florida is to be congratulated for making a hard-to-find book accessible to the public." -The Alabama Review Mississippi ArchaeologySwanton's use of historical letters, maps, and journals provides the reader of this book with a useful and informative, if not always gripping, look at the variety and network of Native American tribes in the southeastern United States around the time of early European contact. Despite having been written over seventy years ago, academics, students, and others interested in Native Americans in the Southeast will still find this an informative, well-researched, and comprehensive book."
