Hello, I've just reviewed my Hastie-Thompson and Eggleston books and a good biography of Jackson, and I see no reference to his being wounded at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. He did ENTER the Creek wars with a wounded arm; he had "a slug and a shot" which he received from a bar fight with Thomas Hart Benton and a brother. Ten years later, when both Benton and Jackson were Senators, they shook hands and let the previous hostility slide. Now, SAM HOUSTON was wounded in the leg by an arrow and received at least two arm wounds at Horseshoe Bend. He was fighting with the U.S. forces and was the first man to go over the breastworks. Creek Chief Menewa, badly wounded, escaped during the fighting, slipped into the water, and got away by breathing through a reed. THAT'S where all those Saturday afternoon movie serials got the idea !! gmw
