THE APALACHICOLA There has been considerable confusion regarding this tribe, because the name was applied by the Spaniards from a very early period to the Lower Creeks generally, Coweta and Kasihta in one account being mentioned as Apalachicola towns [Note: It appears in two forms, Apalachicoli and Apachicolo, the first of which is evidently in the Hftchiti dialect, the second in Muskogee. Apalachicola is a compromise term.]. It is used in its general sense in the very earliest place in the Spanish records in which the name occurs, a letter dated August 22, 1639, and in the same way in letters of 1686 and 1688.3 (Swanton)
