Original Narrative:
- Between
the Canadian border and Arkansas, sprinkled with flourishing farms, is
the fertile domain of the Creek Indians. It is not so long since the
warriors there covered themselves with whimsical tattooing; but
progress has to-day penetrated into these savannas, and these same
Indians to-day read a newspaper printed in their language.
Like the Choctaws, the Creeks formerly inhabited Alabama and
Mississippi, which they ceded for a pecuniary consideration to the
American government. Their numbers do not amount to more than
twenty-two thousand.
