Title: 1813 July 23, Creek Path [to] Colonel Return J. Meigs, Highwassee
Author : Kanchestaneskee
Date Created: 1813-07-23
Abstract: This document appears to be a letter to Return J. Meigs dated July 23, 1813 composed by several Cherokee chiefs at the request of Pathkiller, the principal chief, to inform Meigs of the growing Creek civil war. The letter tells that the town of Tooquachee (Toocabatchee) in the Creek Nation, where four different tribes of Indians once held friendly conferences, has been taken from Creek chief Big Warrior and destroyed. While Big Warrior is considered a "friendly" Creek, the letter states that the majority of Creek Nation has gone against him to join the rebel party. The Cherokees indicate that they have information that one of the prophets partly responsible for the uprising has escaped to the Choctaw Nation. Included is a warning from Big Warrior to the Cherokees to arm themselves against the rebellious Creeks along their borders.

Title: Aerial photograph of Fort Loudoun during archaeological excavations, taken in 1976
Photographer : Karl Kutruff
Date Created: 1976
Abstract: This is an aerial photograph of Fort Loudoun during archaeological excavations by the University of Tennessee in 1976. Fort Loudoun was a British colonial military post on the lower Little Tennessee River that was occupied from 1756-1760. It was built in Overhill Cherokee territory in what is presently Monroe County and named for John Campbell, the Earl of Loudoun, who was commander-in-chief of British forces in the colonies. William G. De Brahm designed the fort, but abandoned the project because of disagreements he had with Capt. Demerre who commanded the militia troops and British regulars stationed at the post. Survival of this frontier outpost was dependent upon good relations with the Cherokees who supplied food for trade goods. During the French and Indian War, tensions began to mount between the Cherokees and the colonists. In March 1760 the Cherokees laid siege to the fort, cutting off supplies and forcing its surrender. Excavations of Fort Loudoun were conducted by the University of Tennessee from 1975-1977 in anticipation of the flooding of the lower Little Tennessee River by the Tellico Dam Reservoir. The excavations were conducted under contract with the National Park Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Principal investigator and Field Director, Carl Kutruff.

Title: James M. King at Bachelors` Hall to James Moore in North Carolina
Author : King, James Moore, 1792-1877
Date Created: 1815-03-15
Abstract: In this letter, James Moore King gave a detailed description of the fighting in and around New Orleans at the end of the War of 1812. Part of the Tennessee Volunteers serving under General Coffee and General Jackson, King described several battles beginning December 23, 1814 through January 8, 1815. In that final battle, King said that the British were "shamefully whipped," taking much heavier losses than the Americans. He claimed that it "killed the British joy...to think that a parcel of raw militia, undisciplined Tennesseans, should best the chosen troops of England, who had fought so many successful battles in France and America now to be defeated by an equal force of raw Tennesseans and Kentuckians, supposed to be 10,000 each." The location at the top of the letter says "Bachelors` Hall, The Ladies Choice."
