Unlike most other agents, he lived among the Creek Indians for his entire tenure, from 1796 to 1816. Journeying forth from his home on the Flint River in Georgia, he served southeastern Indians as government intermediary during one of the longest eras of peace in the historic period.Hawkinss journals provide detailed information about EuropeanIndian relations in the 18thcentury frontier of the South. His descriptions of the natural and cultural environment are considered among the best sources for the ethnohistory of the Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw, and, especially, the Creek Indians and the natural history of their territory.Two previously published bodies of work by Benjamin Hawkins are included hereA Sketch of the Creek Country in the Years 1798 and 1799 and The Letters of Benjamin Hawkins 17961806.
