A confederate soldier, pioneer merchant, rancher, newspaper
publisher, and town builder, George Washington Grayson also served
for six decades as a leader of the Creek Nation. His life
paralleled the most tumultuous events in Creek Indian and Oklahoma
history, from the aftermath of the Trail of Tears through World War
I.
As a diplomat representing the Creek people, Grayson worked to
shape Indian policy. As a cultural broker, he explained its
ramifications to his people. A self-described progressive who
advocated English education, constitutional government, and
economic development, Grayson also was an Indian nationalist who
appreciated traditional values. When the Creeks faced allotment and
loss of sovereignty, Grayson sought ways to accommodate change
without sacrificing Indian identity.
Mary Jane Warde bases her portrait of Grayson on a wealth of
primary and secondary sources, including the extensive writings of
Grayson himself.
