Book Recommendation: Nairne's Muskhogean Journals

Richard Green

Tribal historian Richard Green cites several books he recommends to anyone interested in Chickasaw history. The first is by the original chronicler of Chickasaw culture, Thomas Nairne. Richard tells a fascinating story of the relatively recent discovery of these important journals. The book also includes a letter Nairne wrote about his visit to the Creeks, which allows one to compare the two tribes.
