United States, Florida, 28.75054, -82.5001United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018McIntosh, William, approximately 1775-18251818-04-13This document is a copy of a letter from Creek leader William McIntosh, commanding a detachment of Creek warriors, to David B. Mitchell, former governor of Georgia (1809-1813, 1815-1817) and acting agent to the Creek Indians, dated April 13, 1818. McIntosh reports on a recent military engagement with forces under Peter McQueen, a Red Stick Creek leader and transmits the number of casualties on both sides (probably associated with the First Seminole War, 1817-1818). McIntosh remarks on the bravery of both Indians and whites who fought alongside him and indicates that his troops have met with General Andrew Jackson in preparation for attacking unnamed "Negroes" on the Suwannee River. He also refers to a white woman recovered from the "hostile" Indians and asks Mitchell to send a copy of this letter to Big Warrior and Little Prince.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc921engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Telamon Cuyler, box 82, folder 03, document 01.Creek Indians--WarsBlack SeminolesMcQueen, PeterSeminole War, 1st, 1817-1818Letter, 1818 Apr. 13, [near] Mickasukie [i.e., Miccosukee] to D[avid] B.
