Text of marker: "FORT EARLY. Fort Early, built by General Blackshear in 1812, was named for Peter Early, Governor of Georgia at that time. It was used by General Blackshear during the war of 1812. On February 13, 1818 General Andrew Jackson and his army arrived at the fort and used it in the campaign against the hostile Seminole Indians of Florida and Creek Indians of Georgia. Nothing remains of the fort. It is believed to have been a stockade like many used in Indian warfare. The site of the fort is owned and marked by the Fort Early chapter of the D.A.R. 040-2 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1954" - External Identifiers:
