Adair's Book: A History of Chickasaw Culture

Richard Green

Unlike English chronicler Thomas Nairne, who stayed with the Chickasaws for only a week and never returned, James Adair arrived and stayed. He was an agent of the British and he wanted to cement their alliance. Richard notes a nonsensical argument Adair advances in the book about tribes descending from ancient Hebrews. Nonetheless, the material on Chickasaws is invaluable.
