Recount of Indian war actions and Fort Mimms drive
Narrative recalls a 1813 Pensacola campaign with Major Russell and General Jackson. Troops cross Muscle Bay area toward Fort Mimms, burn and spike fortifications, scalp enemy after city fall, and pursue Indian forces along Scambi river toward New Orleans. The account blends personal memory with shifting command roles and a prolonged march through flooded terrain toward Fort Montgomery and beyond.
