Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letter from Colonel Benjamin Hawkins, U.S. Agent to the Creeks, to Peter Early, Governor of Georgia (1813-1815), dated February 12, 1815. Hawkins reports that "hostile" forces, comprised of numbers of Indians, blacks and whites, are fortifying their stations east of the Apalachicola River and are still connected with the Spanish and the British. Hawkins further states that the President of the U.S. has accepted his resignation as Superintendent of Indian Affairs and that (Christian?) Limbaugh will temporarily take over the post. Hawkins makes reference to an upcoming meeting between a number of Indian groups and the British and indicates to Early that the Indians "friendly" to the U.S. are naked and starving, increasing the likelihood that some might turn to the British for relief. In addition, Hawkins includes a quotation from a Red Stick chief who was with the British during a recent battle (possibly the Battle of New Orleans) against General Andrew Jackson in which great numbers were killed and wounded.

This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War of 1812 saw the United States wracked by political dissent and saddled with a problematic military policy. The new nation notably failed in its attempted occupation of Canada in a bid to leverage better treatment from Great Britain but in two and a half years of fighting, there were American victories and defeats, none of which decisively altered events or advanced the national agenda. In the end, the grievances listed in President Madison's war message to Congress--British harassment of American shipping, the impressment of American citizens and the instigation of hostilities by Indian tribes--were all mitigated by the time the Treaty of Ghent was signed in 1814 (mainly attributable to the fall of Napoleon). This collection of War Department correspondence gives a complete account through more than 11,000 official and unofficial letters, annotated and indexed here for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a letter dated November 5, 1814 from Benjamin Hawkins, U.S. Agent to the Creeks, to Peter Early, Governor of Georgia (1813-1815). Hawkins mentions his letter to the Assistant Deputy Quartermaster General (a copy of which appears as tcc881) requesting supplies for troops fighting the Seminoles. He writes that he is also enclosing papers (no longer attached) relative to the collusion of runaway slaves from Georgia and British forces in Pensacola, and he suspects that these fugitives are being aided by the "hostile" Seminoles. He mentions both General Thomas Pinckney and Major Cook and says that he will need their permission to move the mounted infantry into the field. Hawkins points out the need for an able commander from Georgia whom the Indians and the regular soldiers will obey, and he says that if necessary he himself will command them. Hawkins also mentions a letter from General Andrew Jackson. He closes the letter by noting that Captain Timpoochee Barnard's regiment is ready for service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This letter dated October 12, 1814 from Benjamin Hawkins, U.S. Agent to the Creeks, to Peter Early (Governor of Georgia, 1813-1815) summarizes Major William McIntosh's report about his recent trip to Eufaula, and then on to Florida, to inquire about runaway slaves in Seminole territory. McIntosh reports that the Seminole chiefs expressed their peaceable disposition towards him and their willingness to return any runaway slaves that sought refuge in their territory. He also says that once he arrived in Florida he found that the British had left Apalachicola for Pensacola. Furthermore, Red Stick Creek leaders (herein referred to as "Red Clubs") Peter McQueen, Josiah Francis (Hillis Hadjo) and Emautlau Haujo are said to have recanted, expressing a desire to be forgiven and return to the nation. He goes on to say that he has heard through an unnamed Indian source that the British force that was defeated at Fort Bowyer had returned to Pensacola and that the British forces' Indian allies were losing confidence in them.
