(page 378 of 620)
"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. Still, he managed to protect Creek lands & culture for another generation, a solace not afforded other Indian nations." — Mar 07, 2019 10:38PM
