Milly Francis Heroine of Creek Nation Earned Congress Medal
Milly Francis, a Creek maid from Oklahoma, saved a Georgia militia officer in 1817 and was later recognized by Congress with a Medal of Honor long after the act. She died in 1848 before the medal or pension could reach her, with President Tyler signing papers in 1844 establishing a $96 yearly pension.
