More about the book

The book delves into the rich history of Savannah, highlighting the significant contributions of Native Americans, particularly the Guales and the Yamacraw tribe led by Tomochichi, who assisted in founding the colony. It also addresses the impact of President Andrew Jackson's policies in the 1830s, which forced Native American tribes to relocate, including those who had allied with him in battle. Michael Freeman examines the enduring legacy of these indigenous peoples in shaping Savannah's development and cultural heritage.
