Thank you for compiling such intriguing historical information about the people groups of this region. My husband and I both teach history and he’s a registered Creek. We find ourselves thinking of your work often. We moved up from southeast GA and have been bouncing around the north Georgia mountains for the last few years. Your writings help to pique interest and appreciation for this area. Thank you and Happy New Year!
