Letter from James Seagrove Creek Indian Agent, to Henry Knox, on Georgia efforts to undermine peace with Creeks
Document 1793From Fort Fidius, Seagrove laments that his failed efforts at achieving peace with the Creek Nation are entirely owing to the unruly conduct of the people of Georgia. Reports that there are two expeditions on foot against the Creek towns; one party from Green County and other from Washington. Suggests that Georgia Governor Telfair is encouraging this activity. Expresses hope that the Oakfuskees, who wrongly incurred the white man's wrath instead of the culprits, the horse stealing Cowetas, will exact revenge on the Cowetas. Seagrove fears that the conduct of the white people in this country will destroy all hopes of peace; refers to the malignant breath of anti federalists and land speculators who undermine the peace. Suggests that if Barnard can give favorable accounts, Seagrove will again attempt to venture out to meet with Creek leadership.
