| Abstract | In the London summer of 1762, Lord Egremont, the Secretary of State in charge of Britain’s overseas colonies, welcomed the latest arrival of an indigenous diplomat to the imperial metropolis. The Cherokee warrior, Ostenaco, had travelled to London to meet King George III, ostensibly to seal a peace treaty just signed between the British and the Cherokee back in the Appalachians. Egremont was a gracious host and ensured that Ostenaco would, during his two-month stay, ‘want for nothing’.1 To the governor of Virginia who had arranged his trip, however, Egremont was less warm. ‘You rightly observe’, he wrote to Governor Fauquier, ‘that such visitors are always troublesome’.2 |
