A Creek Warrior for the Confederacy: The Autobiography of Chief G. W. Grayson

by G. W. Grayson, W. David Baird (Editor)

Overview

"The publication of George Washington Grayson’s autobiography brings to light perhaps the only existing written account of a nineteenth-century Indian leader. Born in 1843 near present-day Eufaula, Oklahoma, Grayson served as a Confederate army officer during the Civil War and in various offices of the Creek Nation from 1870 until his death in 1920. . . .Baird has produced an excellent edition that makes Grayson’s autobiography more accessible and that should bring it the attention it deserves."–Montana: Magazine of Western History
