The mud and the rain were most unpleasant. but after four miles, when we reached the ruins of the old Tou- Iouse Plantation. these were forgotten for we were getting on to historic ground.

 Tombigbee basin for their own uses. they must occupy it. Young BtenNllle
 was. therefore, sent north with flo-
 tilla of flatboats from Mobile in lI22, and Fort Toulouse was erccted-a typi-
 cal stockade, with canon at each corner, on the highest ground between
 the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers, from whose walls the vallies of the Alabama and it's two tributaries could be seen
 stretching like three silver ribbons ln-

 days they say the waters were clear
 and not red with the clay of later cot

 was left to care for the French future;
 to make friends with the Indians and
 to begin the history of Wetumpka.
 Most of that which may be described
 as the romance of Wetumpka came
 from Captath Marchand, his Indian
 sweetheart and Fort Toulouse, although the only thing to recall the stockade
 
 name which has been given the planta- ton en which it Is found After Cap tain Marchand came another comman- der--and another romance-when the sad story fthe Princess Charlotte drifted to the forest wilds for time and then the English and finally the rehabilitation of the abandoned and ruined stockade by General Jackson in his war on the Creeks in the very heart of their land. That is why it Is only Fort Jackson now with no mem | ory of Captain Marchand and Sehoy, 1 his Creek bride, or of Captain Aubant | and his Princess Charlotte How com | pletely these real romances nave | passed away with neither tahglole | trace remaining of the settlhgs m m
 which they were enacted nor even or recollections to recall that here real
 history was made Ceven If 1t did not | get itself on formal reCord), Is almost pathetic. It is only Fort Jackson now, and not a sign Of it remains other than | that to be found in irregular moundS and excavations. Large trees grow
 where once Jackson's magazine stood and standing among these, fancy alone can coniecture that which was. On the 1 left, as one faces the south, a dense 1 forest hides the nearby TdllHpoosa, put on the right and closer the Coosa runs
 in sight at the base of high bluff. | Something more of Captain March
