Indian Activity on the Southwestern Frontiers

Blount reports on Indian activity on the southwestern frontiers, noting that the Creek-Chickasaw War is not as fierce as might be expected, owing probably to the threat of Panton to withhold arms and ammunition if the war continues. The Creek chiefs have apparently refused the bloody hatchet offered them by the Shawanese ambassadors. Though professing to be friends of the United States, the Spaniards still embrace Panton.
