It is not surprising that both McIntosh and Weatherford, despite
their predominantly Caucasian genes, both their fathers from
Scotland, but chose to live as Indians rather than whites. William
McIntosh called, White Warrior was commissioned a brigadier general
in the United States Army for his contributions to Andrew Jackson's
forces at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend and for other services to
the country, but he died embroiled in controversy, executed by his
fellow Creeks, who charged that he led in ceding lands to the
federal govern-ment in violation of the agreed-upon policy of the
other chiefs of the Creek Nation. William Weatherford, called Red
Eagle, opposed Jackson's troops but was so noble in his surrender
that he won Old Hickory's respect and pardon.
