"EMPEROR" M'GILLI VRAY.
"The Spaniard* a re devils, and the
olggeat devil among them Is the half
Spaniard, half-Frenchman, half Scotcb
man aud altogether Creek blackguard
McOllllvary."
Tbu* wrote Oen. Jumtu Robertson,
the Tennessee pioneer. The iuan be
referred to was a half breed Creek
war cbk'f who went by the Scottish
name of Alexander McQHUvray. He
had other nainea and titles. F\>r In
stance, be called blmaelf "emperor of
the Seminole* and Creeks." Ha bam"
boozled uv? b Spat:; aud the United I
States Into giving blm commissions
aa major general and persuaded Kng*
land to make him a colonel. He drew
pay from all three countries, playing
one agalnat the other and being loyal
to none.
McGIUlvray was born in the Creek
"nation" in 1740. His father waa a
Scotch emigrant of good birth, bin
mother a half-breed Creek princess.
In the son's velna ran the blood of
four race# ? Indian, Spanish, trench
and Scotch. Underneath the polish
und learning he received, he waa al
ways a typical Indian of the worst |
sort. Ilia father's family planned a ]
white man's career for the lad. They
gave him a splendid education; then
found a position for him In a Savaiv
nah counting house.
A Flight From Civilization.
Hut the tame life of civilization
wearied him and he. went back to his
mother's people. His education and
natural genius soon raised him to the
rank of chief, not only of the Creeka,
but of the Semlnolea and Chicka
maugaa, too. This triple power put
him at the bead of- fully 10,000 war
riors and made him lord of a domain
larger than many European kingdoms.
Small wonder that he took the title of
emperor, surrounded himself with a
royal court and was accompanjed
everywhere by a retinue!
When the revolutionary war broke
out the Hritish made him a oolonel.
This title, and the gay uniform that
went with it. delighted McOllllvray's
barbaric soul. Nor was the extra pay
displeasing to him. He fought for. the
English throughout the revolution.
Georgia therefore confiscated all his
property In that state. In revenge for
this he waged war on the white set
tlers In. the south and west. When
the United States and England signed
a peace treaty, in 1783, McGUllvray
began to look about for new employ
ment. Spain ? then master of Florida
? sought alliance with him. For a
goodly sum he became a Spanish
agent, with the title of general, and
I used his tribal power for Spain's ad
vancement Then. 1790, he consented
to go to New York for a personal con
ference with President Washington.
| He made the Journey in imperial state.
I At every city along the route there
I were crowds and music to welcome
the "Emperor.** All this put him In a
good humor. He readily made a dip
lomatic and commercial treaty with
Washington, consenting to act as
United States agent, with the rank of
general and a salary of $1,200 a year.
He also received $100,000 Indemnity
for the land that Georgia had confis
cated from him. Although he then
took oath of allegiance to this country,
he sent word to his Spanish employers
that he should continue to look after
Spain's interest just the same. In
view of such loyal services the Span
iards raised his salary to $3,500 a year.
This, with his yearly $1,200 from the
United States and his tribal proper
ties, added to the money ho could earn
by grafting and his Income as partner
in a large southern commercial house,
made him a very rich man.
ALGe&T mt&Oti TCPtlUNC
Spain, Great Britain and the United
States were not upon the friendliest
terms in these days. Indeed, in the
south their Interests were forever
clashing. Yet McGillivray had enough
tact to keep his n,.me on the pay roll
of the three countries and to give
' more or less satisfaction to all of
? them. He also jrrew daily more pow
erful and secure in his office of "Km
i peror," using white men and Indians
J alike as- pawns in his successful gamo
j of pell tics and fins nee.
Past Master of Treachery.
| Though in the sworn Kervice of the
I United States, he did not. cease hia
I bloodthirsty raids on southwestern
settlers. Nor diif ho ever let hi3
oaths of allegiance to any nation in
terfere with his personal Interests and
pla.p? of vengeance. It lias been said
of McGillivray: "He was an instance
of a powerful intellect absolutely di
vorced from moral principle."
In his declining years McGillivray
took pleasure in Riving a statesman
like education to his nephew, a youth
who was one day to Maze a bloody
trail in history under the name
Tied Eagle, and whose life story has
been told in an earlier article of this
series.
McGillivray escaped punishment for
his countless offenses and died rich
and honored. February 17, 1793. He
was buried with Masonic honors In the
garden of hts business partner's house
at Vensacola, Fla.
