Digital collection aimed at scholars studying the American Indians of the Southeast. Comprising the papers of the Panton, Leslie & Co., a trading firm, this collection includes ore than 8,000 legal, political and diplomatic documents recording the company's operations for over half a century. Panton, Leslie & Company conducted trade with the Creeks, Seminoles, Choctaws and Chickasaws, and were important in the trade with the Cherokees. The partners harbored a great antipathy to America, and used their influence with the Indians to advance Spanish territorial claims against the United States, and to encourage the Indians to resist white settlers and American attempts to acquire land from the tribes.
