       index. 
520    "Tohopeka contains a variety of perspectives and uses a 
       wide arrayof evidence and approaches, from scrutiny of 
       cultural and religious practices to literary and 
       linguistic analysis, to illuminate this troubled period. 
       Almost two hundred years ago, the territory that would 
       become Alabama was both ancient homeland and new frontier 
       where a complex network of allegiances and agendas was 
       playing out. The fabric of that network stretched and 
       frayed as the Creek Civil War of 1813-14 pitted a faction 
       of the Creek nation known as Red Sticks against those 
       Creeks who supported the Creek National Council. The war 
       began in July 1813, when Red Stick rebels were attacked 
       near Burnt Corn Creek by Mississippi militia and settlers 
       from the Tensaw area in a vain attempt to keep the Red 
       Sticks' ammunition from reaching the main body of 
       disaffected warriors. A retaliatory strike against a 
       fortified settlement owned by Samuel Mims, now called Fort
       Mims, was a Red Stick victory. The brutality of the 
       assault, in which 250 people were killed, outraged the 
       American public and "Remember Fort Mims" became a national
       rallying cry. During the American-British War of 1812, 
       Americans quickly joined the war against the Red Sticks, 
       turning the civil war into a military campaign designed to
       destroy Creek power. The battles of the Red Sticks have 
       become part of Alabama and American legend and include the
       famous Canoe Fight, the Battle of Holy Ground, and most 
       significantly, the Battle of Tohopeka (also known as 
       Horseshoe Bend) - the final great battle of the war. There,
       an American army crushed Creek resistance and made a 
       national hero of Andrew Jackson. New attention to material
       culture and documentary and archaeological records fills 
       in details, adds new information, and helps disabuse the 
       reader of outdated interpretations."--Project Muse.
