Ga County Challenge Cachers will love me for this one. Camoed match container (now preform as of Aug 2022) across the road from where the Historical Marker was before it was lifted. BYOP. Please replace the lid firmly.
What the marker said: In February, 1836, after rumors of unrest among the Creek Indians and a report of 500 having crossed the Chattahoochee River at Bryants Ferry, 22 members of the Georgia Militia under Col. John H. Watson were sent out from Columbus to investigate the rumor. At the mouth of Upatoi Creek they found 40 armed Indians returning to the ferry. The Indians took cover immediately and commenced firing. After some firing on both sides two of the white men were killed and two wounded. The Militia left the field, returning to Columbus, and the Indians continued to their homes in Alabama. This fight became known as the Battle of Hitchity. GHM 026-4B GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION
