The authors of these essays are an interdisciplinary team of anthropologists and historians who have combined the research methods of both fields to present a comprehensive study of their subject. Published in 1979, the book takes an ethnohistorical approach and touches on the history, anthropology, and sociology of the South as well as on Native American studies.
While much has been written on the archaeology, ethnography, and early history of southern Indians before 1840, most scholarly attention has shifted to Oklahoma and western Indians after that date. In studies of the New South or of Indian adaptation after the passage of the frontier, southeastern native peoples are rarely mentioned. This collection fills that void by providing an overview history of the culture and ethnic relations of the various Indian groups that managed to escape the 1830s removal and retain their ethnic identity to the present.
By illuminating the largely ignored experiences of remnant Native American groups in the South and by calling for additional studies of tri-ethnic relations, this book makes an important contribution to historical scholarship.

Williams succeeds admirably in calling our attention to southern Indians, informing his readers about their past, and challenging scholars for further research.
—Tennessee Historical Quarterly
Well-written and well-researched . . . [these] essays are of high quality. The authors have consulted the major archival sources and have also done considerable fieldwork.
—American Historical Review
This book is a significant addition to Native American literature, both for its ethnohistoric approach and its subject matter.
