"""Thoroughly researched, expertly theorized, and thoughtfully articulated, Peach's reinterpretation of the sources and nature of Creek authority provides a welcome complement to recent works on a dynamic and contested southeast. Rivers of Power is a model in ethnohistory, and an excellent book.""--Kevin Kokomoor, author of Of One Mind and Of One Government: The Rise and Fall of the Creek Nation in the Early Republic ""This exciting new book joins a growing body of scholarship that re-focuses early American history away from English colonies on the Atlantic coast to a richer, more diverse continent west and south of the Appalachian Mountains. Peach's analysis of a provincial, or ""riverine,"" mode of governance draws attention to fascinating political experiments based on Indigenous frameworks and challenges readers to rethink how we conceptualize eighteenth-century Native polities.""--Joshua S. Haynes, author of Patrolling the Border: Theft and Violence on the Creek-Georgia Frontier, 1770-1796"
