John T. Juricek, Associate Professor (B.A., University of Chicago, 1959; M.A., 1962, Ph. D., 1970): American colonial history and the Indian in American history. Editor, Georgia Treaties, 1733-1763 (1989) and Georgia and Florida Treaties, 1763-1776 (2001), vols. 11 and 12 of Early American Indian Documents: Treaties and Laws, 1607-1789.

I have long been interested in early America, especially the English colonies, most especially the interactions of those colonies with the native Indians. I have two long-term projects underway, both outgrowths of previous work. One will be a monograph on English relations with the Southeastern Indians, based largely on documents I gathered for the two volumes mentioned above. The other will be a book on English territorial claims in North America: an analysis of how English kings and officials justified those claims against European rivals, and how they separately justified such claims against the local Indians.
