An address to the Senate by Georgia governor George Troup regarding the recently ratified, and highly controversial, Treaty of Indian Springs. Troup, along with his cousin, William McIntosh, a mixed-blood Creek chief, negotiated the treaty which saw the Creek tribe ceding more land to Georgia, and relocating to an undeveloped area west of the Mississippi. The treaty, while popular with Georgians, was denounced by the National Creek Council, who in turn ordered McIntosh's execution. A copy of the treaty, as well as numerous letters surrounding its creation, implementation, and McIntosh's murder, are also included. SHOEMAKER 20655.
