` :::::Where Haywood ``white people`` in Tennessee, the specific text quoted by Mooney, he is talking about French.  He then goes on to discuss the ``former inhabitants`` who built the mounds and the round houses, and it is not at all clear he is still talking about the 'white people' driven out, or the mound-builders he had discussed earlier. However on 161 he does have every appearance of believing in a race of white aboriginals since extirpated.  The real take-home message is that Haywood is a mess, and Mooney is problematic in his representation of the relationship between the moon-eyed people and the people Haywood is describing as being driven out of Tennessee.  It's a house of cards and we need to be very careful in how much credence we give any of it.    `
