Title
Aggression by Creek Indians
Description
Governor William Blount of Southwest Territory writes the Secretary of War, enclosing letters on hostilities by Indians in the region. The recent murders in the region will prove, Blount believes, to have been committed by the Creeks. "I consider war with the Creeks unavoidable, and my hope of peace with the Cherokees is not abated, but increased." This latter point is due to General Benjamin Logan desisting in attacking lower Cherokee towns.
