- Synopsis
- &“A thoughtful narrative that gives greater context to the contributions of Native Americans to the success of Spanish, French and English colonists.&” —Savannah Morning News Savannah&’s storied history begins with Native Americans. The Guales lived along the Georgia coast for hundreds of years and were the first to encounter Spanish missionaries from St. Augustine in the 1500s. Tomochichi of the Yamacraw tribe is lauded as the cofounder of Georgia for his efforts in helping James Oglethorpe establish the Savannah colony in the eighteenth century. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson forced southeastern Native American tribes to resettle in the West, including descendants of the Savannah Creek, who had fought by Jackson&’s side at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Michael Freeman explores the legacy of coastal Georgia&’s Native Americans and the role they played in founding Savannah.
