| Summary: | "Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, Final Battle of the Creek Indian War, March 27, 1814. 12 mi. north of Dadeville, Alabama, Hwy. 49."<br><br>"Tohopeka, refugee town hastily built inside horseshoe prior to the battle. Prophets' assurances of safety here proved false, as General Coffee's troops and Indian allies created a holocaust nourished by dozens of houses. In flames died a village and a Nation, as Creeks were ultimately removed to Oklahoma in the 1830s." |
