Good Luck and Happy Hunting. Here’s a little History.
The Battle of Horseshoe Bend was fought on March 27, 1814 on the
Tallapoosa River in the state of Alabama. The forces of General
Andrew Jackson defeated the Creeks in a decisive victory which
ended the Creek war.
General Andrew Jackson, whose command and life was saved due to
500 Cherokee allies at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, unbelievably
later as President would authorize the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
This act would lead to the removal of Indians from their homelands
and forced them to Indian Territory [Oklahoma] in 1838-39.
President Andrew Jackson, whose life was saved by a Cherokee
Chief at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, sent FOUR THOUSAND Cherokee
children, women and men to their graves on what became know as
"Trail Where They Cried," or as it is more commonly known as the
“Trail of Tears.”
Sequoyah, the inventor of the Cherokee syllabary fought in the
Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
Future Cherokee Chief John Ross also fought in the Battle of
Horseshoe Bend. It was during this battle that John Ross swam the
frigid waters of the Tallapoosa River to help steal the Creek's
"getaway" canoes which were then used by the Cherokee in a rear
attack on the Creek Indians. The diversion was all Jackson needed
to successfully overcome the Creek defenses.
