United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Grierson, Robert1820-11-29This document is a letter from Robert Grierson to General David B. Mitchell, U.S. Agent for Indian Affairs, dated November 29, 1820. Grierson describes recent conflicts with Chief William McIntosh and the Big Warrior, both Creek Indian leaders, who have made moves to strip him of his slaves. The issue is complicated by the involvement of Grierson's two eldest sons who intend to work with the Creek leaders to dispossess him and the younger Grierson children of their property. Grierson also describes the treachery of an overseer, Mr. (Bats ?), to whom a number of his daughter's slaves were entrusted, only to be sold out from under the family.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegkrc003engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Keith Read, box 06, folder 20, document 03.Creek Indians--Claims againstSlaveryCreek Nation[Letter] 1820 Nov. 29, Oakfuskee, Creek Nation [to] Gen[eral] David B.
