AMrew Jackson lanky and til dressed. his long, homely fftoe tanned wfttk the suns of ? terrific Alabama campaign <*aln?t Red Bade. the Crock ohM ? sat at the door of his tout one moraine In 1814.* Nearby lounged a throne of tired out militia men. The campaign had been long and wearying. The hostile Creek In* dlant, led by Red Ragle, bad more than onoe put Jackson's mllltla to rout, and by the Fort Mima mftaaacre hftd roused the whole country to ?ury. The Creek' war waa nearly oyer, the women and children of the "hoetlles" were herded In the woods. The braves were killed or scattered. But Red Bagle ? scourge of Alabama and In carnate war spirit of the savages? ? waa still at large. A Deed of Heroism. Suddenly the thunder of horse-hoofs broke on the camp's quiet A rider? bronze of akin and with the face and Agure of a sculptured i god? dashed up to the general's tent, reined In Ida gray charger and sat calmly look ing down upon the conqueror of the Creeks. From a hundred throats rose the amased, furious yell: "Red Bagle! Kill him!" The man on horseback paid no more heed to these cries nor to the rifles leveled at his1 breast than to the butz of summer flies. Ho continued to gase stolidly down at Jackson. The general found bis voice at last and gasped in Incredulous wonder: | "Red Bagle! You dare ride into my camp when you murdered hun dreds of Innocent white Women and children at Fort Minis?" "I do not fear you," replied the In y dlan, "Red Bagle fears no man. 1 ask nothing for myself. Kill me if you ohoose. I come to beg you to feed our starving women and children, whom this war has left homeless and without food." Again, from the militiamen, rose the howl: "Kill him!" But Jackson, whirling about to face hie soldiers, cried : "The man who would kill any one Vo brave as this Indian would rob the dead! Red Bagle* I have offered peace terms . to the Creeks. ' If you do not like those terms yon may ride away in safety from my camp and resume hostilities. But if you are ta* ken again I shall hang you." "There ts no longer that dbolce left me," retorted Red Bagle. "6nc$ my voice could rouse my warriors to bat tle. But the dead canndt be roused. Tou have offered peace terms to the Creeks. Tour talk is good. My people shall listen to It." Reel Eagle was born about 1770. His mother was a Creek princess, his father a Scotch trader. From boyhood Red Eagle was a hero among hip mother's people. His beauty, hi* courage, his marvelous eloquence, his crafty diplomacy soon made him head chief, or overlord, of the whole south* ern confederacy of tribes that com- 1 posed the Creek Nation. When the war of 1812 with Bhgland was brew ing, many Spanish and British emis saries went among the Creeks to stli; them up, agalhst the United States government. Tecumseh, too, by hlS oratory and "miracles," enlisted large part of the tribes on the side of the British.1 He found a ready ally to Red Eagle. ?. A United States garrison, 245 strong, under command of Major Bees ley, was entrenched at Fort Mims. Thither, too, came nearly 300 white women and children for refuge.' For there had been several dashes be tween Creeks and Settlers and the outlying districts were unsafe. Red Eagle, with about 1,000 braves, at* tacked the fort in late August, 1818. For five hours the battle waged. At last the Indians slew most of the de fenders and set fire to the fort's wooden buildings. The battle was won. Nearly all the able-bodied white , men were titled. The savages began to murder the women end children,, Red Eagle besought his warriors to Hipare these defenseless victims. But his words fell on deaf ears. His own" life was threatened by the war-mad braves. So he left the scene and rode away alone, refusing to look on Such horrors. Out of more than 500 white persons in Fort Mims, only about twenty escaped. Red Eagle's Last Stand. The news of this outrage set all the south ablaze. Andrew Jackson, weak from a wound received in k duel, was lifted onto his horse and took command of the avenging south* eners' Battle after battle was fought. Qenerally the white man won. But more than once Red Eagle's military genius served to Inflict a severe dt>< feat, upon the militia, Ther climax of the war came at the battle of Horse shoe on the Tallapoosa river. There the Indians (contrary to their usual custom) threw up fortifications and awaited Jackson's attack. For a long time the Issue was in doubt But at last the milltta% "rushed" the trenches, then 'slaughtered and utterly routed the savage warriors, Jackson's loss in this fight was 65 killed and 146 wounded. But he had forever wreck ed the power of Red Eagle and had crushed the Creek Nation.
