Book Review

Creek Country: The Creek Indians and Their World. By Robbie Ethridge. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2003. xiii + 369 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. Cloth $59.95, paper $22.50.

Robbie Ethridge concludes her well-written and absorbing study of Creek Country with an account of the closing in the early nineteenth century of this vast homeland to the Creek Indians once covering most of the Alabama territory. More fitting to the place this volume ought to achieve in the literature of North American ethnohistory, however, would have been a chapter on the opening of Creek Country to contemporary scholarship. In this important volume Ethridge adds substantively to a growing body of scholarship demonstrating the complexity, sophistication, and efficacy of Native American cultures during the entire period of European and American contact. But what she does not say about Creek Country opens many doors for further work on the world the Creeks inhabited within the larger history and cultural geography of North America.
