A Brief History of Fort Gaines, Georgia

Chief Miniwa heard the roar of the muskets as the shot grazed his face, tearing away the skin; it was the last of seven wounds he would take in the battle. He fell to the ground, unable to fight any more. He had fallen among slain squaws, and he used their skirts to cover his body. At nightfall he cautiously made his way to the nearby Tallapoosa River, slipped in, and silently floated away.

Miniwa's defeat and the resulting victory of General Andrew Jackson at Horeshoe Bend (March 12, 1814) marked the end of the Creek War of 1813-14. This war in effect was a diversionary tactic fought at the same time that the War of 1812 was going on between the US and England. As cost of fighting the war, General Jackson demanded 20 million acres of land from the Creeks. One boundary point of the demanded territory was at the junction of Cemocheechobee Creek and the Chattachoochee River; the definition of this point is FORT GAINES.
