Introduction
This website is intended as an exploration of the material culture and trade of the southeastern Native American nations of the 18th century. Most specifically, two periods will be the primary focus; the French and Indian War period(including the Cherokee War) of 1754 - 1763 and the American Revolution 1775 - 1783.
This site is broken into several catagories containing articles based on my research and contributions by others. Due to the changes in the tastes of the customers and changing supplies available for trade, it is neccessary to break down even sigular items such as shirts, into catagories by subject and time period. While this might seem cumberson, it will become clear that it is needed for a fuller understanding of the changing nature of Native American material culture in the southeast.
The pages are a mix of formal articles with complete citations, and blog style writings. Some subjects are just easier to write about in one format over another. Hopefully varying styles will be both useful and acceptable to the reader. The content is being updated all of the time.
In the spirit of scholarly integrity, full credit will be given where due. It is never fun to learn that your ideas have been appropriated by someone else!
