Additional commentary.
1. Location of Battle Field
According to author Donna Causey in her book "Alabama Footprints: Confrontation" (pg. 63), the town of Tallasseehatchee was located on the headwaters of the Tallasseehatchee Creek, about 2.5 miles southwest of Jacksonville, which would put it just off AL Hwy 21, across from RMC Hospital-Jacksonville. Anyone have any input as to the location of this battlefield?
