Summary
The author "argues that in a world where four colonial governments, an overburdened Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and the increasingly important military commanders all competed for a share of southern Indian relations, determined individuals could--and did--have an immense influence over Anglo-Amerindian relations in general and over Anglo-Cherokee relations in particular."--Jacket
