this 2 vol work stood for 100 years as the authority on Creek Indian Wars of 1813-14. Many recent books since 1990 add to this body of work, few surpass it. ( )
For more than a century this Victorian work has remained the definitive history of the Creek War of 1813-1814. This is the conflict that weakened the largest Indian nation within the claimed boundaries of the United States, vaulted Andrew Jackson to national fame, and ultimately opened the Deep South to commercial exploitation through slavery. Halbert and Ball are ahead of their time in striving to understand the motives of Indians who fought in the war, rather than simply viewing them as a barrier to inevitable white domination. In this the authors were unsurpassed until 1993, when Joel Martin published Sacred Revolt, analyzing the Creek War as a religious endeavor.

And those who dwell along the bright waters which once were held by the free and brave warriors of the great Creek nation, should remember that the children of the forest and the wild had the first and best right to all those beautiful streams, that the white pioneers have nearly always been aggressors upon Indian hunting grounds and burial places, and that the least they can do is, cherishing no animosity for provoked massacres committed in the past, to imitate such virtues as the Creek warriors did possess, and to do their part as American citizens in having henceforth just treatment accorded to all the remaining American Indians.
