Emet. A small tribe met by De Leon 

 and Manzanet near lower Guadalupe r., 

 Texas, in 1689. They occupied a village 

 with the Cava Indians near the crossing 

 place, apparently about 15 leagues from 

 the French Fort St Louis on Matagorda 

 bay. To the northward they encoun- 

 tered several other Emet "ranchitos." 

 Within a year these Indians appear to 

 have moved farther e., for in 1690 De 

 Leon encountered them on that side of the 

 'Rio Colorado, living with the Cava, Too, 

 and Toaa Indians, their former neighbors. 

 They were perhaps related to the Karan- 

 kawa. Possibly the Meghty of Joutel 

 are identical. (h. e. b. )

Emistesigo. Known also as Gurister- 

 sigo. An Upper Creek chief and noted 

 warrior who came prominently into no- 

 tice in the latter part of the 18th century. 

 The British being in possession of Savan- 

 nah, Ga., in June, 1782, Gen. Wayne 

 wasdispatched to watch their movements. 

 On May 21, Col. Brown, of the British 

 force, marched out of Savannah to meet, 

 according to appointment, a band of In 

 dians under Emistesigo, but was intercept- 

 ed and cut to pieces by Wayne. Mean- 

 while Emistesigo succeeded in traversing 

 the entire state of Georgia without discov- 

 ery, except by two boys, who were cap- 

 tured and killed. Wayne, who was not 

 anticipating an attack, was completely sur- 

 prised by the Indians, who captured 2 of 

 his cannon, but succeeded in extricating 

 his troops from their danger, and, after 



severe fighting, in putting the Creeks to 

 flight. Emistesigo was pierced by bayo- 

 nets, and 17 of his warriors fell by his side. 

 He was at this time only 30 years of age, 

 and is described as being 6 ft 3 in. in 

 height and w-eighing 220 pounds.
