Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...sincere respect and esteem, Sir, Your obedient servant. The Honourable JAMES McHENRY, Secretary of War. Cusseta, 19th November, 1797. Sir: I have to inform your Excellency that I have appointed the first day of January next to commence the line between the State of Georgia and the Creek nation. The Creeks have appointed Commissioners on their part, to attend the Commissioners of the United States, to see the line ascertained and marked. I intend to be at Fort Wilkinson by the 25th of December, and to proceed from thence up the Tulapocca to its source. If you should direct any gentlemen to attend on the part of Georgia, I shall be glad to see them at the fort, and of their company in the rout I shall go up the river. I find the Indians improve a little in their efforts to maintain a friendly intercourse with their neighbours. I find no difficulty in obtaining restitution of property taken since the treaty of Colerain, and of negros who run from the State of Georgia. In the latter case, as I have no document to satisfy one that there existed any positive engagement on the part of the Indians to restore them, I have called on the nation, ex-officio, and promised a reward of twelve and a half dollars to have them restored to their owners, and there are now in my care two of them, the property of General Mc1ntosh, of Savannah, and I request you to cause the General to be informed of this, that his negros are with the public smith at Tallauhassee, in my neighbourhood, and will remain there until he gives orders respecting them. The Uchee who murdered Brown is under sentence of death and has fled.

Book Description
Benjamin Hawkins, U.S. Agent to the Creeks, writes to Georgia Governor Peter Early (1813-1815) on April 21, 1815. Hawkins reports that "hostile" Indians (probably rebel Creeks and Seminoles) have made five attacks since the news of peace (evidently the end of the War of 1812). He says that the chiefs convened and determined to send parties out to stop the attacks. Hawkins also includes an excerpt from a report of William Hardridge. Hardridge traveled to the British garrison near John Forbe's trade store at Prospect Bluff by the mouth of the Apalachicola River and waited for the return of Colonel Edward Nicolls. While at the fort, Hardridge spoke with Captain Ross and inquired about runaway slaves. He saw runaway slaves, who were granted their freedom by the British, as well as Indians inside the garrison. Hardridge also noted that provisions were scarce and Indians in the area were subsisting largely on alligators. Ross told Hardridge that the party of Indians who recently killed and robbed a man were from Fowltown, and they acted four days before peace was declared. Ross claimed that since then, the British have ordered the Indians to stop fighting and go home, and he told Hardridge that U.S. troops within the Creek Nation must remove themselves.
