Charles Hudson is emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Georgia. He has undertaken a long-term inquiry into the social history of the Native peoples of the southeastern United States, and his book The Southeastern Indians (1976) has defined the field. After having spent several years reconstructing the explorations of Hernando de Soto, Tristan de Luna, and Juan Pardo, Hudson is beginning a project that will examine how these sixteenth-century Native polities disintegrated and how the survivors reorganized themselves into the peoples and polities who are thought of as the Indians of the Old South.
