A Muscogee history across generations

Set in Georgia in 1933, McIntosh Summer connects the era of Chief William McIntosh with the changing cultural landscape of the American South. Its historical frame bridges the 19th and 20th centuries, bringing Muscogee (Creek) history and culture into a young adult story about cultures meeting during difficult times. The publisher notes that the book uses period terms for Black people; this context is relevant to its portrayal of the 1930s and its engagement with the language of the time.

Book overview

McIntosh Summer is set in 1933, location Georgia. This young adult historical fiction based on Chief William McIntosh is a glimpse into the Muscogee (Creek) culture and history. This book bridges the timeline between the 19th and 20th Century, and it captures the melting of cultures during trying times, especially in the South. The pronouns "Negroes" and "Colored" utilization in this book accurately describe the terms and titles that were used in the 1930's. History doesn't always paint lovely pictures, and we can't change that. It is what it is. It's history! We can't change it, we can't judge it, we can learn from it and do better. That's the point.
