Eminent historians Theda Perdue and Michael Green. Mike taught a couple of generations of students at several different institutions of higher education—with his most significant stints at Dartmouth College (1977–1992), where he chaired the Native American Studies Program for eight years; at the University of Kentucky (1992–1998), where he mentored several PhD students; and lastly at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1998–2009), where he taught in the American Studies and History Departments and continued to mentor several additional doctoral students before retiring as emeritus professor in 2009. Mike is remembered for his significant work on Creek Indian history, including The Politics of Indian Removal: Creek Government and Society in Crisis published by the University of Nebraska Press in 1982, as well as several books written with his wife, Theda Perdue, that ranged from reference works on Southeastern Indian history to Cherokee Removal to an introduction to American Indian history. Along with Perdue, Mike established the Indians of the Southeast book series with the University of Nebraska Press that has shaped scholarship on the Native South for nearly thirty years and can be credited with defining the Native South as a field of study worthy of its own adherents and publications.
