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.

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.

This book was released on 1815 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Colonial and Revolutionary History of Upper South Carolina written by John Belton O'Neall Landrum and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1897 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with local stories and dramatic scenes of fighting from across many decades, J. B. O. Landrum's chronicle of South Carolina is a treasure of the past. The author is enthusiastic in presenting accounts which encapsulate the local Carolina spirit; tales of hardship amid an unforgiving wilderness, of brutal combat between the Native Americans and the white settlers, and of everyday living in the villages and townships of the various counties. War stories and dramatic events are commonly taken from recollections of descendants and written anecdotes; such sources make for a lively and thoroughly engaging history of how South Carolina came to be. By the time he wrote this history in 1897, J. B. O. Landrum was already respected as a writer and chronicler of the past. Locals in and around the Carolinas would, from time to time, send him pertinent material. This edition includes the original publication's maps of the locality, so that readers can understand where settlements stood in the grand scheme of things, and how troops moved around during the conflicts. For its unique storytelling and knowledge, this history retains much value for modern day readers.
