"Alexander McGillivray could teach Mr. "Art of the Deal" a thing or two. Presenting himself as the sole leader of the Creek people, he played the countries who courted him off one another, winning many privately enriching concessions along the way, while frustrating natives and colonialists alike.

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!”
