Reviews

"[...] Tohopeka offers compelling analyses and uses new evidence to show how a localized Creek civil war had enormous implications for the course of American history."
--The Journal of Southern History
"An interesting, interdisciplinary collection of essays on a timely topic, quite readable by the non-specialist."--Robbie Ethridge, coeditor of Light on the Path: The Anthropology and History of the Southeastern Indians

"Tohopeka is an important and timely volume that offers fresh insights into the War of 1812 and overlapping Creek War. As a whole, the book busts many long-held myths and alters our most basic interpretations of the southern conflicts."--Andrew K. Frank, author of Creeks and Southerners: Biculturalism on the Early American Frontier and editor of Early Republic: People and Perspectives
