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.
