Creek Mary's Blood

The New York Times –bestselling saga of Creek Indian Mary Musgrove and her descendants, whose lives parallel the American story through two centuries. "A splendid, beautiful and heartbreaking story." —Howard Fast, New York Times –bestselling author In Creek Mary's Blood, Dee Brown fictionalizes the astonishing true story of Mary Musgrove—born in 1700 to a Creek tribal chief—and five generations of her family.
