the first of April, POGO of their warriors, among whom were their principal proph- cts and kings, had been slain, most of their towns and villages burned, and the strong places in their territory occupied by the United States troops. After this battle the miserable remnant of the hos tile tribes submitted"
 H. M Breckenridge, History of the Late War" QS44, page 195:
 This most decisive victory put an end to the war with the Creeks; and broke the spirit and power of these misguided men completely. The victory of Tallus- hatches won by Coffee; of the Talla- poosa by Cooke; the two victories of General Floyd on the Georgia side of the Indian territory, those of Talladega and Enotachopco, won by Jackson, and the fatal battle of the Horseshoe Bend, fought by Jackson and Coffee, may be said to have cut up the war by the roots "

 Power of Greeks Broken.
 "But the war was over. The power of the Creeks was broken half their war riors were dead the rest were scattered and subdued in spirit. Fort Mims was indeed avenged Jackson's amazing ce- lerity of movement and particularly his last daring plunge into the wilderness. and his triupm over obstacles that would have deterred even an Indian force, quite baffled and confounded the unhappy Creeks. Against such a man they felt 1t vain to contend. The general had no sooner reached the Hickory Ground and procured for his tired and hungry men the supplies they needed than the chiefs began to come into his camp and suppii- cate for peace"

 This ended the Creek war. For stub born fighting and for general destruc- tion alike of life and property on the part of the Indians 1t stands alone in the history of savage warfare on this continent. Never before had the Indians fought in such military fashion, suffered such losses, or held out to the bitter end as the Creeks did. The fighting power of the tribe was annihilated. At the outbreak of the war the Creeks were the richest Indians in America. At its end they were the poorest. From its dis asters they never fully recovered. The destruction of three-fourths of the able bodied men in any nation or tribe of any race or color must inevitably change It's destines permanently"
 A commemoration.
 A. B. Meek in "The Red Eagle" QS55), pages SS and S9, thus commentaries this fierce and fateful engagement:
 "Yes, by their courage and their strength Muscogee's braves are qualled at length. Six moons have rolled their silver tide, And they are blasted in their pride The Autumn stars saw triumph's glow: The Spring-time sun, the broken bow: Their blood has crimsoned all their rils: From Estanaula's tumblng wave To where Escambias S waters lave The fire and sword have swept their
 land,
 Dealt with an unrelenting hand. At Tallisee in vain they stood Or poured at Autosee their blood No skill or cunning could drive back The conqueror from his fiery track. One final effort in despair.
 As turns the panther In his lair, Beside fair Tallapoosa's wave
 Within the Horseshoe Bend" they made Yet found it's refuge but a grave, That scarce a warrior could evadel Oh, seldom, in the battlefield
 Have fiercer scenes deadlier strife Than this been witnessed"
 The anonymous author of Memoirs of Andrew Jackson" QS4S), page 122:
 This battle gave a death-blow to their hopes; nor did they venture, afterwards, to make a stand. From their fastness in the woods they had tried their strength, agreeably to their accustomed mode of warfare; in ambuscade, had brought on the attack; and. in all, failure and disaster had been met None of the
