I have read more than one book from the 1700s and early 1800s that spoke of the burning the Creeks did each year. And they were doing it in late winter, the same time most of it is done now. I don't remember which writer said it, but one was amazed that there didn't seem to be any organization to it, but they all seemed to just know when it was time to set the fires.
