Probably can still be ordered by googling his name. The book lists the only possible Joseph Durant that could have been in the Creek country as being " a possible indian trader - was described as a Frenchman in August, 1792, when he and the Cherokee Richard Findleston warned the citizens of Nashville of an impending Cherokee attack". Martini lists all his reference material for his notes. The only other Joseph Durant listed is a Choctaw indian. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
