In the quiet days of peace and security in which we live it is
difficult to imagine such a time of excitement as that at which our
story opens, in the summer of 1813. From the beginning of that
year, the Creek Indians in Alabama and Mississippi had shown a
decided disposition to become hostile. In addition to the usual
incentives to war which always exist where the white settlements
border closely upon Indian territory, there were several special
causes operating to bring about a struggle at that time. We were
already at war with the British, and British agents were very
active in stirring up trouble on our frontiers, knowing that
nothing would so surely weaken the Americans as a general outbreak
of Indian hostilities. Tecumseh, the great chief, had visited the
Creeks, too, and had urged them to go on the war path, threatening
them, in the event of their refusal, with the wrath of the Great
Spirit. His appeals to their superstition were materially
strengthened by the occurrence of an earthquake, which singularly
enough, he had predicted, threatening that when he returned to his
home he would stamp his foot and shake their houses down.
