Sacred Revolt

The Muskogees' Struggle for a New World "In Sacred Revolt Joel Martin places the 1813-1814 revolt of the people who were called 'Creek Indians' in the context of world history while forsaking nothing of the texture of their own culture. With a deft use of multiple perspectives, he has rewritten a chapter in the history of the Old South. His book will do much to freshen stale ways of thinking about a valiant people."-Charles Hudson, author of The Southeastern Indians

Joel W. Martin is associate professor of religious studies and American studies at Franklin and Marshall College.
