Brothers of Coweta

"Rindfleisch has provided a useful and interesting story about one Muscogee family's navigation of colonialism and empire that students of Indigenous history will find helpful."—The Journal of Southern History

"Brothers of Coweta is both a history of Muscogee people living in the long eighteenth century and an incisive investigation into the power of kinship and family to shape Native politics, British policy, and American expansion. Through the lives and political savvy of two Native brothers, Sempoyaffee and Escotcha, Rindfleisch uncovers intimate and seldom told stories about violence and resilience that transformed the early American South."—Alejandra Dubcovsky, University of California, Riverside

"In elegant prose, Bryan Rindfleish offers a new perspective on Muscogee (Creek) history through the lens of kinship, family, and town as he traces the lives two of the best-known Creek micos of the eighteenth century. Thoroughly researched and filled with insight, the author has delivered another compelling addition to Muscogee (Creek) historiography."—Kathryn H. Braund, Auburn University
