A Great Book on a Major Part of Native American Culture
This book is a series of essays on "the black drink" - a form of tea made from the yaupon holly by the Native American cultures of many parts of the Southeastern United States. The customs and ceremonies surrounding the black drink - called "casina" by the Timucuan Indians, "asi" by the Creeks, and known in various forms throughout the Southeast - were a major part of Native American cultures in ...

You'd really expect more from someone like Hudson
"Conversations with the High Priest of Coosa" is neither good fiction nor good ethnography. Charles Hudson's Coosa worldview is inexplicably almost totally Cherokee in outlook. Hudson says he relied on Cherokee folklore because it was more internally consistent than Muskogean folklore, and that Cherokee had some stories that Muskogean folklore didn't that he thought exemplified the Coosan ...

Spanish and Indians in the Carolinas
Charles Hudson is perhaps the best scholar to read about the interaction of Indians and Spanish in the American Southeast during the 16th century. His book about De Soto's route is definitive. This book concerns the nearly-forgotten expeditions of Juan Pardo through the Carolinas and across the Appalachians to Tennessee in 1566,67,and 68. Included in the book are the official accounts in ...

Outstanding research material
This book is slow going. It is full of details excellent for anyone researching Southeastern Native tribes. Not a good book for the casual, armchair historian.

Epic
I probably first read or heard about de Soto in high school, but until recently he was just a name, one of dozens of Spanish Conquistadors. Then in 2002 while traveling through the Tampa, FL area I came across a National Park commemoration where he first landed on a 4,000 mile 3-year trek through North America. Being there in person my imagination was fired and I've been fascinated by de Soto's ...
The Forgotten Centuries: Indians and Europeans in the American South, 1521-1704

University of Georgia Press
, 1994
Attempts to account for nearly two centuries that are "missing" from the history of the American South. Using Spanish explorers' chronicles to corroborate artefacts and topography, the text surveys the chiefdoms of the Southeast and re-examines many of the expeditions conducted at this time.
Hernando De Soto and the Indians of Florida (Ripley P. Bullen/Florida Museum of Natural History)

University Press of Florida
, 1993
Hernando de Soto, the Spanish conquistador, is legendary in the United States today: counties, cars, caverns, shopping malls and bridges all bear his name. This work explains the historical importance of his expedition, a journey that began at Tampa Bay in 1539 and ended in Arkansas in 1543. De Soto's explorations, the first European penetration of eastern North America, preceded a demographic disaster for the aboriginal peoples in the region. ...
The Packhorseman

University of Alabama Press
, 2009
In April 1735, twenty-year-old William MacGregor, possessing little more than a bottle of Scotch whiskey and a set of Shakespeare's plays, arrives in Charles Town, South Carolina, to make his fortune in the New World. The Scottish Highlands, while dear to his heart, were in steep economic decline and hopelessly entangled in dangerous political intrigue. With an uncle in Carolina, the long ocean voyage seemed his best chance for a new start. He ...
An Early and Strong Sympathy: The Indian Writings of William Gilmore Simms
South Caroliniana Library with Assistance of
, 2003
Literary writings that reveal nineteenth-century perceptions of Native Americans; Novelist William Gilmore Simms (1806-1870) and the Indians who lived in the southeast United States during the nineteenth century have shared a similar and unfortunate fate - both have been largely neglected in mainstream scholarship of literature and ethnohistory. In a volume that remedies this oversight, John Caldwell Guilds, an authority on Simms, and Charles ...
