DISCUSSION:

“The Battle at Fort Mims occurred on 30 August 1813 during the Creek War, when a force of Creek Indians, belonging to the \"Red Sticks\" faction under the command of head warriors Peter McQueen and William Weatherford (also known as Lamochattee or Red Eagle), stormed the fort and defeated the militia garrison. Afterward, a massacre ensued and almost all of the remaining Lower Creek, white settlers, and militia at Fort Mims were killed. The fort was a stockade with a blockhouse surrounding the house and outbuildings of the settler Samuel Mims, located about 35 miles north of present-day Mobile, Alabama” [Wikipedia. Published by Johnson & Fry after a painting by Alonzo Chappel.
