Abstract

Hill's study emphasizes the continuity of Creek diplomacy while recognizing adaptations in how diplomatic power was wielded and by whom. In his epilogue, Hill unexpectedly leaps from 1818 to 1959-1962 to explain how Miccosukees gained sovereign status by using maritime diplomacy during the Cold War instead of being subsumed into the larger Seminole Tribe of Florida. James L. Hill's impressive examination of Creek (Muskogee) international relationships with other tribes and nations covers 1763 through 1818, the end of the First Seminole War.
