Creek Mary’s Blood

Creek Mary, her name was legend.

She was Amayi, the Beloved Woman of the Creeks; she was a chief and a warrior.

Her descendants-mingling the blood of the Cherokee, the Cheyenne, the Dakota and the Sioux-lived, fought and suffered through the bitter century that formed America.

CREEK MARY’S BLOOD, a magnificent saga spanning four generations of determination and defeat, is Dee Brown’s greatest achievement since BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE.
