A New Order of Things

Klappentext
A New Order of Things chronicles the changing world of the Creek Indians.

Zusammenfassung
As the Creek Indians amassed a fortune in cattle and slaves, new property fostered a new possessiveness, and government by coercion bred confrontation. A New Order of Things was the first book to chronicle this decisive transformation which left deep divisions between the wealthy and poor, powerful and powerless.
