A fully annotated edition of a classic work detailing the cultures
of five southeastern American Indian tribes during the Contact
Period. James Adair was an Englishman who lived and traded among
the southeastern Indians for more than 30 years, from 1735 to 1768.
During that time he covered the territory from the Appalachian
Mountains to the Mississippi River. He encountered and lived among
Indians, advised governors, spent time with settlers, and worked
tirelessly for the expansion of British interests against the
French and the Spanish. Adair's acceptance by the Creeks, Choctaws,
Cherokees, and Chickasaws provided him the opportunity to record,
compare, and analyze their cultures and traditions. Adair's written
work, first published in England in 1775, is considered one of the
finest histories of the Native Americans. His observations provide
one of the earliest and what many modern scholars regard as the
best account of southeastern Indian cultures. This edition adheres
to current standards of literary editing, following the original
closely, and provides fully annotated and indexed critical
apparatus.
