Pum Mvhayv Toyetskat: Creek Letters to Ann Eliza Worcester Robertson, 1878-1905
translated by Margaret McKane Mauldin, edited by Jack B. Martin
The following letters were written in the Creek (Muskogee) language of present-day Oklahoma and addressed to Ann Eliza Worcester Robertson, a missionary to the Creeks. The bulk of the letters in the collection are from the University of Tulsa’s McFarlin Library, where they form part of the Alice Robertson Collection.
We are grateful to the McFarlin Library at the University of Tulsa for allowing us to use their collection for this project, Lori Curtis for encouraging this collaboration, and Gina Minks for scanning the documents in the collection. The translation and editing of these letters were supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (RT-21566-94), the College of William and Mary, and the National Science Foundation (SBR-9809819).
