Talk:Standing Peachtree

Misrepresented source
Garrett's book Atlanta and Environs judiciously discusses the case for "Standing Pitch Tree" as the actual name for the Creek village Standing Peachtree. However he concludes by noting that the "Peachtree" derivation is much older and better attested, while the "Pitch Tree" variant only shows up in the early 20th century, although claiming to come from an older oral tradition. Garrett is too kind to state that the "Pitch Tree" theory is an invention. But he certainly shows that the weight of evidence is on the "Peachtree" side. The article misrepresents his work, so I am amending to demote "Pitch Tree" from its current elevated position. — ℜob C. alias &Agrave;LAROB  00:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Muskogee language name
Acc. to Placenames of Georgia, John H. Goff, 1975, p. 172, it is Pakanahuili, or transcribed into Mvskóke orthography (acc. to Loughbridge's English and Muskogee Dictionary, 1914) Pvkánv-húere /pʌkɑnʌhuiɬi/. So, acc. to this, the peach/pitch controversy doesn't exist, pvkánv is a peach. -- MacCambridge (talk) 08:33, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
