Description

(Copy?) of a letter dated August 14, 1800 from Benjamin Hawkins to Georgia Governor James Jackson concerning the war between the Spanish and Indians in Florida. He mentions William A. Bowles' flight and theft of Mr. Panton's slaves, the arrival of Colonel Trudeau's troops, and Spain's intention to punish "the guilty". Hawkins also discusses the plan of some citizens in Camden County, Georgia to "take care" of Indians in Florida, Governor Jackson's warning against such action, and the Creeks' reaction to this. The Creek Boosketah or Green Corn Ceremony is underway.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
