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. It was
after the Horseshoe encounter that
