Abstract:
This article by Samuel L. Mitchill was published in the American Monthly Magazine and Critical Review in 1818. Mitchill praises the work of Benjamin Hawkins, U.S. Agent to the Creeks, in his attempt to "civilize" the Creek Indians. He gives a rough outline of the history of the Creek people, relates anecdotal accounts of Hawkins' endeavors as well as peoples' reactions to his methods and discusses other mission work among the Cherokees.
