THANK YOU, Nancy, for posting the excerpt from "A Concise History of the Introduction of Protestantism into Mississippi and the Southwest" at www.geocities.com/twincousin2334/History_Protestantism_Mississippi An exciting read, especially the part where "the blood-thirsty savages" amubushed the flatboats. The attackers were Muskogeans (part of the Cherokee language group) and formal treaty allies of the British. The British and Americans were still at war, and remained so until 1783. The ambush site was near Chickamauga Creek, downstream from the Civil War battlefield of the same name. Bruce __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
