As Pocahontas was to Jamestown and Sacajawea was to the Lewis and Clark expedition, so was Mary Musgrove to the burgeoning Georgia colony.
Based on the true story of Mary Musgrove, this historical fiction relates her vital role in two worlds. Born “Coosaponakeesa” to a Creek mother and an English father, she skillfully straddled two worlds: her Indian heritage and the English way of life. Through her influence with the Indian tribes, Mary encouraged the chiefs to meet with General Oglethorpe in Savannah, leading to the peaceful establishment of an English colony in Indian territory.
As General Ogelthorpe's interpreter and emissary to the Indians, she smoothed the path to cooperation between the Creeks and the colonist, perhaps single-handedly insuring the survival of the colony of Georgia.
Arguably the most important woman in the history of Georgia, Mary Musgrove guided the Creek nation through the treacherous waters of international intrigue during the dramatic conquest of a hemisphere.
Join master storyteller Pamela Bauer Mueller as she recounts an unforgettable period in Georgia colonial history through the eyes of one of its key players.
