Battle Of Autosee Creek






Source

"...the restless Seminoles and bitter Creeks were on the war path in both Southern Georgia and Alabama."

"A body of Georgia troops under the command of General John Floyd...marched into the Indian Nation beyond the Ocmulgee near Columbus. Here he built Fort Mitchell and marching westward fought the battle of Autosee, in which he was wounded. The general was the first man to march through the great Okefinokee swamp where he cut a road known as Floyd's trail. The war ended with the battle of New Orleans early in 1815. During this period the war with England and the war of the Creeks came to an end." [Source]
