Alexander McGillivray The Last King of the Creeks
About this book
W. A. Henderson's biography of Alexander McGillivray paints a short but vivid and compelling portrait of one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in early American frontier diplomacy. Born of a Scottish father and Creek mother, McGillivray straddled two worlds—European colonial society and the matrilineal traditions of the Creek Nation. As war, settlement, and commerce transformed the American South in the late 18th century, McGillivray emerged as the Creeks' most powerful and controversial leader. With charisma, cunning, and education, he negotiated with British, Spanish, and American powers, seeking to secure Creek autonomy amidst expanding empires and territorial ambitions. Henderson explores McGillivray's role in shaping the Treaty of New York, his uneasy alliances with foreign governments, and the complex legacy of a man viewed alternately as a hero, a traitor, a diplomat, and a king. Rich with detail and drawn from original sources, this biography offers insight into the precarious position of Native nations during the birth of the United States. It also explores themes of identity, loyalty, and leadership in a world where cultural collision was both inevitable and tragic. This is not only the story of one man but also of a nation caught between resistance and accommodation. Essential reading for students of Native American history, early American diplomacy, and Southern frontier politics.
