United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.500181796/1798A copy of a talk delivered to the Kings, Headmen and Warriors of the Creek Nation by commissioners sent by President George Washington on behalf of the United States. The talk reveals the commissioners' demands that the Creeks either return property stolen from Georgia inhabitants (including horses, hogs, and slaves) or make reparations for the same. In addition, the commissioners indicate their stringent desire to purchase a tract of land between the Oconee and Ocmulgee Rivers. They refer to the treaties of Augusta (1783), Galphinton (1783), Shoulderbone (1786), and New York (1790), and inform the Creeks that if they do not fulfill their promises to return stolen property, the desired tract of land will be occupied, and blood might be spilled. The talk is undated, but refers to Georgia Governor Jared Irwin, and thus probably was given between 1796-1798.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/jpegtcc224engMode 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, Telamon Cuyler, box 78, folder 12, document 23.Creek Indians--Government relationsCreek Indians--TreatiesA talk of the Commissioners from the State of Georgia to the Creek IndiansText
