Uchee Indians,
A diminutive nation, seated in the beautiful country, in Georgia, extending from the Savannah River at Augusta to Milledgeville and along the banks of the Oconee and the headwaters of the Ogeechee and Chattahoochee.
They were once a powerful nation, and claimed to be the oldest on the continent.
Their language was harsh, and unlike that of any other; and they had no tradition of their origin, or of their ever having occupied any other territory than the domain on which they were found.
They have been driven beyond the Mississippi by the pressure of civilization, and have become partially absorbed by the Creeks.
Their language is almost forgotten, and the Uchees are, practically, one of the extinct nations.
