While the court recognized William Jr. as the son of William Sr., he nevertheless lost his petition for inheritance due to the lack of legal evidence concerning the marriage of his biological mother to William Sr. The case, which went to the Alabama Supreme Court in 1851, provides a record of an attempt to interrelate and, perhaps, manipulate differences in cultures as they played out within the ritualized, arcane world of antebellum Alabama jurisprudence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough the case has value in the classic mold of salvage ethnography of Creek Indian culture, \u003ci\u003eRed Eagle's Children\u003c\/i\u003e, edited by J. Anthony Paredes and Judith Knight, shows that its more enduring value lies in being a source for historical ethnography--that is, for anthropological analyses of cultural dynamics of the past events that complement the narratives of professional historians.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTRIBUTORS\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cb\u003eDavid I.
