Indian Spring Saga From 1807 to McIntosh Tragedy
The narrative recounts 1807 horse and cattle theft by Big Warrior’s band, the pursuit and captures, Dred Phillips being wounded, and the escalating tensions leading to the 1821 1825 treaties. It covers Gen. McIntosh’s role, the 1825 treaty and murder, and the tragic burning of his home, plus the dramatic elopement of a McIntosh daughter and the white couple’s marriage near Lawrenceville.
