Additional Description: Andrew Jackson’s army arrived here about 10 a.m. on March 27, 1814. Brig. Gen. John Coffee’s mounted infantry and Indian allies crossed the Tallapoosa about three miles downstream and encircled the “horseshoe” so the Red Sticks could not get help from other towns or escape by swimming the river. Jackson deployed his own militia and regulars across the field and placed his artillery on the hill to your right. Straight ahead, behind their log barricade (marked by the line of white stakes), 1,000 Red Stick warriors awaited Jackson’s attack.
