David Tate: Origins: Life of a Creek Chieftain Without a Tribe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534615427)

This book is a quasi biography of David Tate, a remnant chieftain of the Creek Nation. It is of significance due to Tate's involvement in the Creek Civil War; and his battle for indemnifications after Removal. Tate survived with other "friendly" Creeks in Alabama, the progenitors of the present-day Poarch Band of Creek Indians. Besides the historical perspective, this work highlights the events surrounding the "massacre," at Fort Mims, and the first successful slave revolt on American soil. It is worthy of a first read.
