520 Told by a colonial governor, a Creek military leader,
Native Americans, and British colonists, each account of
Acorn Whistler's execution for killing five Cherokees
speaks to the collision of European and Indian cultures,
the struggle to preserve traditional ways of life, and
tensions within the British Empire on the eve of the
American Revolution.
520 Who was Acorn Whistler, and why did he have to die? A
deeply researched analysis of a bloody eighteenth-century
conflict and its tangled aftermath, The Four Deaths of
Acorn Whistler unearths competing accounts of the events
surrounding the death of this Creek Indian. Told from the
perspectives of a colonial governor, a Creek Nation
military leader, local Native Americans, and British
colonists, each story speaks to issues that transcend the
condemned man's fate: the collision of European and Native
American cultures, the struggle of Indians to preserve
traditional ways of life, and tensions within the British
Empire as the American Revolution approached. At the hand
of his own nephew, Acorn Whistler was executed in the
summer of 1752 for the crime of murdering five Cherokee
men. War had just broken out between the Creeks and the
Cherokees to the north. To the east, colonists in South
Carolina and Georgia watched the growing conflict with
alarm, while British imperial officials kept an eye on
both the Indians' war and the volatile politics of the
colonists themselves. They all interpreted the single
calamitous event of Acorn Whistler's death through their
own uncertainty about the future. Joshua Piker uses their
diverging accounts to uncover the larger truth of an early
America rife with violence and insecurity but also
transformative possibility.
