"Adair's History of the American Indians" by James Adair is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This work aims to document the customs, origins, and various aspects of life among the Southern Indian tribes, particularly those east of the Mississippi River. It provides significant insights into the interactions between these tribes and European settlers, making it a valuable resource for understanding the dynamics of colonial America. The opening of the book begins by establishing the author's background, a trader who spent many years living among the Southern Indians, which lends credibility to his observations and accounts. Adair emphasizes the need for a genuine portrayal of Indian life, distinct from the often romanticized or fictional accounts circulating at the time. He reflects on his years as a trader, detailing his experiences and interactions with various tribes, including the Cherokees, Chickasaws, and Choctaws. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of their culture, social structures, and the historical context of their relationships with European settlers, aiming to offer a comprehensive understanding of the Native American experience during these formative years.
