Fowltown, battle of
An engagement in 1817 fought by National troops under Gen. E. P. Gaines and hostile Creek Indians during the Seminole War in Florida.
The Indians had committed depredations on the frontier settlements of Georgia and Alabama. General Gaines followed them up, and on the refusal of the inhabitants of Fowltown to surrender the ringleaders he took and destroyed the Indian village, for which the Indians soon afterwards retaliated by capturing a boat conveying supplies for Fort Scott up the Apalachicola River, and killing thirty-four men and a number of women.
This event led General Jackson to take the field in person against the Indians early in January, 1818.
