Creek Mary's Blood: A Novel

Creek Mary's Blood: A Novel

The remarkable saga of Creek Indian Mary Musgrove and her descendants, whose lives parallel the American story through two momentous centuries

In Creek Maryâ€™s Blood, Dee Brown fictionalizes the astonishing true story of Mary Musgroveâ€”born in 1700 to a Creek tribal chiefâ€”and five generations of her family. By tracing her struggles with colonists in Georgia, and then the lives of her two sons (one born to a white trader and the other to a Cherokee warrior), Brownâ€™s novel creates a gripping panorama of the American Indian experience in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His narrative spans colonial rebellion, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil Warâ€”in which Maryâ€™s descendants fought on both sides of the conflict.
