- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Brims. As the forceful ruler of the Creek town of Coweta, on the Chattahoochee River fifteen miles south of Columbus, Brims was the first of a line of strong Lower Creek leaders during the eighteenth century and set the standard for their diplomatic policy of neutrality. His stance of regular interaction with all European empires--Spanish, French, and British--earned him mixed evaluations among foreigners and natives, who applauded his clever schemes or condemned his crafty fluctuations.
