Richard and all, Grant Foreman's "Indian Removal" provides an excellent account of what became of the people from the Apalachicola reserves, particularly the Econchatimico (Tocktoethla) band. Neamathla (Eneah Emathla), by the way, was a fascinating individual. He had fought against the United States during the War of 1812 (of which the Creek War of 1813-1814 was a phase) and also opposed the cession of Creek land under the Treaty of Fort Jackson in the First Seminole War of 1817-1818. The war, in fact, began because he warned U.S. soldiers not to cross to the south of the Flint River because he was directed by the "powers above and below" to defend his land. The war started when U.S. troops attacked his village (Fowltown) to attempt to capture the chief and punish him for his defiance and Neamathla and his warriors resisted. After his town was destroyed, he withdrew into Florida and settled originally on the present site of Tallahassee and later in Gadsden County. Following his confrontation with DuVal, he returned back up to the Creek Nation in Georgia and was a major figure in leading Native American resistance to removal during the Second Creek War. He was captured during the fighting and was taken to the new territory west of the Mississippi. He made the journey in chains and under armed guard, without murmering a word of complaint, and was said to have expressed concern only over the fates of his children. He was and is a Native American hero. Best, Dale Cox
