Re: Chilly McIntosh, a biography hot off presses
Bruce: My first book, Ah-ko-kee, American Sovereign, made several mistakes, which I corrected in my second book. Biggest mistake was the map of Government Sessions, or Treaties. The dates in first book put date of 1834 on the largest land ever taken from the Creek Tribe by US Government, when the date should have been 1814. In my second book, From Georgia Tragedy to Oklahoma Frontier, I corrected that date and also went into more detail concerning what happened during the Red Stick War of 1812-14, which brought about that Treaty of 1814. If you have my first book, will you please correct that date on the map. Or better yet, read my second book. And I have been convinced after further research that Chilly's birth date was 1802, rather than 1800. Thanks. Billie Jane
