| Summary | "A Migration Legend of the Creek Indians, vol. 1" by Albert S. Gatschet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the language, history, and ethnography of the Creek Indians, centering around the examination of the Kasi'hta migration legend. This work aims to contribute to the understanding of the indigenous peoples of the Southeastern United States, making connections between different tribes and their languages. The opening of this volume presents a detailed prefatory note and introduction that set the stage for the study of the Creek Indian culture and language. It explains the significance of the Kasi'hta migration legend and outlines the structure of the volume, which includes a comprehensive discussion on the linguistic groups in the Gulf States and focuses heavily on the Creek tribe and its connections to surrounding nations. The author elaborates on the methodology behind the research, emphasizing the importance of language in understanding ethnographic contexts, while also acknowledging the limitations faced due to the historical interactions and the decline of various tribes.
