Abstract

When describing Coweta aggression during the Revolutionary War, for instance, Rindfleisch points to the loss of the brothers' nephews to Georgians as the I huti i -driven reason for Coweta's anti-American violence. Chapters two and three, respectively, focus on Sempoyaffee's rise to the position of Coweta I tustenogy i , or war chief, and Escotchaby's position as Cherokee King, a political Creek-Cherokee intermediary. Sempoyaffee and Escotchaby both served as I micos i , but Sempoyaffee also served previously as a I tustenogy i , and Escotchaby a Cherokee King. [Extracted from the article]
