2019 William L. Proctor Award from the Historic St. Augustine
Research Institute The Yamasee Indians are best known for their
involvement in the Indian slave trade and the eighteenth-century
war (1715-54) that took their name. Yet their significance in
colonial history is far larger than that. Denise I. Bossy brings
together archaeologists of South Carolina and Florida with
historians of the Native South, Spanish Florida, and British
Carolina for the first time to answer elusive questions about the
Yamasees' identity, history, and fate. Until now scholarly works
have rarely focused on the Yamasees themselves. In southern
history, the Yamasees appear only sporadically outside of slave
raiding or the Yamasee War. Their culture and political structures,
the complexities of their many migrations, their kinship networks,
and their survival remain largely uninvestigated. The Yamasees'
relative obscurity in scholarship is partly a result of their
geographic mobility. Reconstructing their past has posed a real
challenge in light of their many, often overlapping migrations. In
addition, the campaigns waged by the British (and the Americans
after them) to erase the Yamasees from the South forced Yamasee
survivors to camouflage their identities bit by bit. The Yamasee
Indians recovers the complex history of these peoples. In this
critically important new volume, historians and archaeologists
weave together the fractured narratives of the Yamasees through
probing questions about their mobility, identity, and networks.
