Abstract
During the nearly two decades since the publication of Hudson et al.’s landmark study of the Coosa chiefdom, a considerable amount of new ethnohistorical research has been directed at this and many other chiefdoms across the Southeast. This is particularly the case with chiefdoms that were either assimilated within or had more regular contact with greater Spanish Florida than did Coosa between the 16th and 18th centuries. This paper examines the Coosa chiefdom within the context of an overall ethnohistorical synthesis of Southeastern chiefdoms, and also presents recently-discovered documentary evidence confirming details of the 1560 Spanish-Coosa raid on the Napochies.
