This is a letter from Henry Jackson at Franklin College (the University of Georgia) in Athens to Governor David B. Mitchell (Governor of Georgia, 1809-1813 and 1815-1817) in Milledgeville. Jackson's letter primarily concerns the poor quality of both Franklin College and the grammar school in Athens. Jackson goes on to talk about a man named Mr. Warren, whom he had hoped to hire at Franklin College and had lately been in the Cherokee Nation at Chief John Ross's home. The letter also recommends that a young graduate of Franklin College, Nathaniel Ashley, receive an appointment in the army. Jackson explains that Ashley's father's plantation had been attacked by unnamed Indians, and he sends him with this letter to meet Mitchell in Milledgeville.

Book Description
Political developments in Georgia have always been baffling to those who did not live there. This work picks up the story of the evolution of Georgia political parties where the author left it in his first book, Politics on the Periphery: Factions and Parties in Georgia, 1783-1806 (1986), carrying the story through 1845, by which date parties in Georgia actually mirrored those at the national level.It is a complicated story, involving, among other things, the legacy of the Yazoo Land Fraud; the development of political parties on the national level; and, especially, the presence of the Creek and Cherokee tribes in Georgia during a period when white Georgians were bent on expanding the culture of cotton. It is an unlovely story, but, by the mid-1840s, parties in Georgia finally resembled those in other parts of the nation, though, if one looked closely at their principles, questions remained.

Mitchell, Creek Indian Agent (and Governor of Georgia 1809-1813, 1815-1817) reporting on recent skirmishes with Seminoles and other warring Indians in southern Georgia and Florida. A recent encounter between Lieutenant R.W. Scott's troops and Indians on the Apalachicola River just below the intersection of the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers was a disaster for the U.S. Upwards of five hundred Indian warriors attacked Scott's boat, killing, wounding, and capturing nearly everyone, including several women. Gaines offers reasons for this loss, relates plans, and discusses his relationship with "friendly" chiefs in the area. The original enclosure is no longer attached.

Book Description
This document is a copy of a letter from Creek leader William McIntosh, commanding a detachment of Creek warriors, to David B. Mitchell, former governor of Georgia (1809-1813, 1815-1817) and acting agent to the Creek Indians, dated April 13, 1818. McIntosh reports on a recent military engagement with forces under Peter McQueen, a Red Stick Creek leader and transmits the number of casualties on both sides (probably associated with the First Seminole War, 1817-1818). McIntosh remarks on the bravery of both Indians and whites who fought alongside him and indicates that his troops have met with General Andrew Jackson in preparation for attacking unnamed "Negroes" on the Suwannee River. He also refers to a white woman recovered from the "hostile" Indians and asks Mitchell to send a copy of this letter to Big Warrior and Little Prince.
