United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018McGillivray, Alexander, ca. 1740-17931786-08-03This is a copy of Alexander McGillivray's talk to the governor of Georgia, dated August 8, 1786. In this talk, McGillivray says that a man called Yellow Hair by the Creeks (Daniel McMurphy, treaty commissioner for the state of Georgia) had demanded a meeting with the Creek chiefs the previous summer but left for Augusta before the meeting took place. McGillivray says that he would like to hear what the governor or his commissioners have to say. He warns them, however, not to deal with the Tame King or the Fat King, neither of whom has the authority to cede any Creek land. He also notes that he has sent the governor and council several talks condemning white settlements on Creek hunting grounds near the Oconee River but has never received a response. He asks the governor to respond and warns him again. This copy was apparently prepared by the executive council's secretary, James M. Stewart.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc904engMode 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 80, folder 05, document 04.Creek Indians--Government relationsCreek Indians--TreatiesCreek Indians--Land tenureCreek Indians--Politics and government--1775-1865Indian land transfersGeorgia--Politics and governmentCopy of Alex[ander] McGillivray's talk to the Governor of Georgia, 1786 Aug. 3, Tuckabatchee, [Creek Nation] / Alex[ander] McGillivrayText
