Download or read book Myth and History written by W. Jeff Bishop and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rossville and Ross' Landing and ferry grew up together in the years following the War of 1812. John Ross, a veteran of that war and future chief of the Cherokee Nation, founded commercial ventures both at the Tennessee River and along the Federal Road, just south of the river, taking full advantage of personal and professional relationships he and his father had established with merchants in the North, and most especially with the family of U.S. Indian Agent Return J. Meigs. Ross built both his home and a warehouse directly on the Federal Road, providing easy commerce to the steady streams of traffic, but there is no trace of either of these buildings at their original sites today. To find the John Ross House, one has to venture a little farther afield, to the quiet springs lurking just south of the main road. W. Jeff Bishop develops a new narrative surrounding this historic Native American home.

Download or read book Tohopeka written by Kathryn H. Braund and published by Pebble Hill Books. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tohopeka contains a variety of perspectives and uses a wide array of evidence and approaches, from scrutiny of cultural and religious practices to literary and linguistic analysis, to illuminate this troubled period. Almost two hundred years ago, the territory that would become Alabama was both ancient homeland and new frontier where a complex network of allegiances and agendas was playing out. The fabric of that network stretched and frayed as the Creek Civil War of 1813-14 pitted a faction of the Creek nation known as Red Sticks against those Creeks who supported the Creek National Council. The war began in July 1813, when Red Stick rebels were attacked near Burnt Corn Creek by Mississippi militia and settlers from the Tensaw area in a vain attempt to keep the Red Sticks’ ammunition from reaching the main body of disaffected warriors. A retaliatory strike against a fortified settlement owned by Samuel Mims, now called Fort Mims, was a Red Stick victory. The brutality of the assault, in which 250 people were killed, outraged the American public and “Remember Fort Mims” became a national rallying cry. During the American-British War of 1812, Americans quickly joined the war against the Red Sticks, turning the civil war into a military campaign designed to destroy Creek power. The battles of the Red Sticks have become part of Alabama and American legend and include the famous Canoe Fight, the Battle of Holy Ground, and most significantly, the Battle of Tohopeka (also known as Horseshoe Bend)—the final great battle of the war. There, an American army crushed Creek resistance and made a national hero of Andrew Jackson. New attention to material culture and documentary and archaeological records fills in details, adds new information, and helps disabuse the reader of outdated interpretations. Contributors Susan M.
