Henderson was an early 20th-century American historian and writer with a keen interest in the Southern frontier and Native American diplomacy. His most notable work, Alexander McGillivray: The Last King of the Creeks, reflects a broader effort among historians of his era to reexamine Native leadership in the Southeast during the late 18th century. In chronicling McGillivray’s life, Henderson brought scholarly and popular attention to a key figure who bridged Creek, Scottish, and colonial identities. Henderson’s approach balanced archival rigor with accessible storytelling, aiming to illuminate the political complexities of Native-European relations in the post-Revolutionary War South. Though less prolific than his contemporaries, his work remains a valuable contribution to Southeastern Native American studies, offering a nuanced portrait of an often-overlooked diplomatic strategist and cultural intermediary.view less
