Description

In this account Margaret Ervin Austill discusses her family's move from Georgia to Alabama; life on the frontier; and relations with the Indians. In particular she describes local reaction to the fall of Fort Mims in 1813: "Every heart became paralyzed with fear, and our men that had been so brave became panic stricken and their families pleading to be taken to Fort St. Stephens."
